People knew her by her will
To make it whatever she put her mind to
Late night hours up the hill
Serving coffee to strangers
Talking about revenue
She kept dreaming of a world
Big enough for everyone
But she knew it must rain before it grows
She kept dreaming of the day
Butterflies survive the wheel
Even though she got knocked down,
it never showed
Dear Lily, where’d you go?
Where’s your heart at?
Why’d you fall back?
Lately your afterglow
Is shining brighter
Waking up an amnesiac
I remember her in songs
Decades old, but it doesn’t matter
I stumble across old memories
Try to recall before they all shatter
She kept dreaming of the world
Big enough for everyone
But she knew it must rain before it grows
She kept dreaming of the day
Butterflies survive the wheel
Even though she got knocked down,
it never showed
Dear Lily, where’d you go?
Where’s your heart at?
Why’d you fall back?
Lately your afterglow
Is shining brighter
Waking up an amnesiac
(Dear Lily)
(Dear Lily)
(Lily)
(Lily)
Dear Lily, where’d you go?
Where’s your heart at?
Why’d you fall back
Lately your afterglow
Is shining brighter
Hmm, Hmm
