Warning: This is not a poem, its a song, and mayby also a story!

Lotus Flower - A song by Alex Scmidt 

Sun is rising and the sky is clear

Growing older with nothing to fear

Two trees gives you protection so you can break free

Someday you will swim away and the world you’ll see

 

But on your journey away from your friends, Youll see the world and maybe a dead end

Don’t swim across the water stream, Its hardest way to your dream

 

Should I live like an lotus in the muddy water

Or should I die like an lotus in the muddy water

Cause I know that life flows the right way and rain it will offer

Should I live like an lotus in the muddy water

 

Now, the world is big don’t get scared

Im sure a mighty fine flower like you will be prepared

Days and weeks passed and your doing fine

But you know that someday the rain will do your time

 

But as your journey passes on, and you feel alive and live strong

Mother nature will try to break your down, follow the river so you don’t drown

 

Should I live like an lotus in the muddy water

Or should I die like an lotus in the muddy water

Cause I know that life flows the right way and rain it will offer

Should I live like an lotus in the muddy water

 

We are never to rich  nor never to fine

To feel the water rise with time

Even though the water seem so clear

Deep beneath the stones lies your muddy fear

 

Don’t ever trust that the stream is slow

Many of your good friends died in that fast flow

Seek your dream but beware

Youll follow your friends if your don’t take care

 

Should I live like an lotus in the muddy water

Or should I die like an lotus in the muddy water

Cause I know that life flows the right way and rain it will offer

Should I live like an lotus in the muddy water

 

You followed your dream and swimmed across the muddy water

On the other side, you spread your seeds and hope for rain water

Cause now you turned big and strong, like an lotus flower

You should live happy ever after across water

Every song I write includes a new story.

I try to keep every song as personal as it can get, without telling what the song is about.
This for an example is about the beautiful lotus flower, that has to cross the dangerous river to spread its seeds, and on its journey this flower meets a few different things that could mean the death of the flower.
Can you relate to that? I know I can.
