Tiger Lily

Eye of the tiger
Floating like sand
Burning rage of fire
Nurtured by man
I wonder why it is
You are what you are
I see you tiger lily
I wonder why you are

My hidden secrets
Filtered by shame
Long ago discovered
Burned away with pain
I wonder how it is
You stay as you are
I see you tiger lily
I wonder why you are

And though the world around me's changin'
And all the time I had is wasted

The living painting
Is changing, too
And now I realize
Just what I must do
I wonder why it is
I'm not what you are
I see you tiger lily
I wonder why you are
