Lyrics for Flowers Never Bend with the Rainfall

Through the corridors of sleep Past the shadows dark and deep My mind dances and leaps in confusion I don't know what is real I can't touch what I feel And I hide behind the shield of my illusion So I'll continue to continue to pretend That my life will never end And the flowers never bend with the rainfall The mirror on my wall Casts an image dark and small But I'm not sure at all it's my reflection I am blinded by the light Of God, and truth and right And I wander in the night without direction So I'll continue to continue to pretend That my life will never end And the flowers never bend with the rainfall It's no matter if you're born To play the king or pawn For the line is thinly drawn 'tween joy and sorrow And so my fantasy Becomes reality And I must be what I must be and face tomorrow So I'll continue to continue to pretend That my life will never end And the flowers never bend with the rainfall
