Forbidden Flowers
[Verse:]
There are flowers in the cities some with color some are pale
You may find them on the sidewalks
Some are wilted but still for sale
You can pick forbidden flowers
There are ways and there are means
If you pick forbidden flowers you may shatter someone's dream
There are flowers in the country soft to touch and sweet to smell
There are dangers in the flowers pick them wisely know them well
You can pick forbidden flowers
You may shatter someone's dream
