In the air

Like a flower blooming in the open meadows

You’re growing and becoming a beautiful piece of artwork

Story continues below advertisement

Dazzling and sparkling like the finest diamonds

Don’t ever let the world try and dirty your beauty

Soon you’ll grow up to be a masterpiece

And like a dandelion fly away to a different canvas

I hope you see everything you want in life

And feel the abundance of feeling the world gives

I’ll always be there for you

For what is a flower without its protector
