Sometimes You Gotta Buy Your Own Flowers
Jgreen…. August 10, 2013

Sometimes you gotta wave your own flag.
Sometimes you gotta love just yourself.
Sometimes you gotta buy your own flowers.
Cause they are so lovely to smell.

         I was sitting ever quietly by the seaside.
         Contemplating the beauty of a bird.
         Maybe if I tried, I could learn to fly,
         It’s not really that absurd.

Sometimes you gotta go it on your own.
Sometimes you gotta toot your own horn.
Sometimes you gotta buy your own flowers,
And celebrate the day you were born.

         So I got me running start, and I gave it all my heart,
         Soon I was soaring above the clouds,
         It was better than I dreamed, much easier it seemed,
         Now I’m smiling down at the crowds.

Sometimes you gotta write your own story,
Sometimes you gotta work to carry on.
Sometimes you gotta buy your own flowers,
If you want to fly like a swan.
If you want to glide like a swan.
