Conservatory Bloom - Morning

The glass was warm at first touch a shelter to the believing walls that promised too much and keep the heat from leaving But warm became a pressure and pressure to a weight The sun to an aggressor The warmth became a hate Didn't choose the storm that took the walls didn't ask for cold in my appeals just woke one day to icy rain that falls and had to learn how outdoor living feels Conservatory bloom finding a way to the light Conservatory bloom sometimes it's cold in the night Conservatory bloom houses of glass need a stone Conservatory bloom You'll never be alone The shock was like a danger the exposure and the chill the open sky a stranger unlike the glass upon the sill But the weather has a hidden way That a potter doesn't know it strengthens in the heat of day and cools you in the snow I didn't know how much of me was there every color reaching to the very height didn't know the root had kept it all with care waiting for the open and the light Conservatory bloom finding a way to the light Conservatory bloom sometimes it's cold in the night Conservatory bloom houses of glass need a stone Conservatory bloom You'll never be alone And then I saw the valley Flowers blooming everywhere Colors I could never tally Not one color of despair Each one having its own story Of a hothouse and a storm Each one reaching out to glory Finding that it has a form I had been so long inside I thought the world was made of glass But the world itself is wide And evil seasons pass Conservatory bloom finding a way to the light Conservatory bloom sometimes it's cold in the night Conservatory bloom houses of glass need a stone Conservatory bloom You'll never be alone YOU'LL NEVER BE ALONE! NEVER, NEVER BE ALONE
