lyrics

Dandelion, you have earned all of my respect
Dandelion, you have learned how to thrive on neglect
The neighbors eye look at you with disgust as you bloom in the spring
They try to pull you out, mow you down, poison you with dust how do you survive everything
Deep roots and a sunny disposition
Ride on the wind
They call me a weed but I know I'm a flower
So I'm not giving in
Andy walks to the bus stop every working day
The idle boys yelling down the block, can't believe the things they say
Andy keeps singing, always smiles as he walks on by
When a couple of blocks can feel like miles how do you hold your head up high
Deep roots
Andy I just don't get why you try so hard
Its just how peoples minds are set, the way that they are wired
I don't do it for them I do it for me and everybody standing in line
If I'm gonna change other people's hearts I've got to start with mine
Deep roots
