Blade of Grass by Ben Will

It’s like a blade of grass dancing in the wind
It’s like a rainbow lasting ‘til 10 pm
It’s like a kiss blown by the sun
It’s like a cool drink of water on your tongue
It’s like a blade of grass dancing in the wind

I’ve got a feeling of joy inside of me
It’s way down deep and when
It starts moving around
There’s such a power, a shift, a lift I feel
You cannot steal because it’s mine
It was given to me
Influential, unconditional, follows me wherever I go

It’s like a blade of grass dancing in the wind
It’s like a rainbow lasting ‘til 10 pm
It’s like a kiss blown by the sun
It’s like a cool drink of water on your tongue
It’s like a blade of grass dancing in the wind

There’s so much shame
And pain, darkness, doom and gloom
You would assume that we would be forever broken and down
But there is an energy inside and we can be forever free and never bound by the conditions of doubt
It’s powerful, essential, if you know, then you know

It’s like a blade of grass dancing in the wind
It’s like a rainbow lasting ‘til 10 pm
It’s like a kiss blown by the sun
It’s like a cool drink of water on your tongue
It’s like a blade of grass dancing in the wind
