about

I was inspired to write "Sunflowers" after seeing the video of the Ukrainian woman who gave the occupying Russian soldier some sunflower seeds to put in his pocket. She told him "at least when you die, maybe sunflowers will grow here."

Wishing for peace to all the folks in turmoil over there right now.
FUCK WAR

lyrics

What could we be now?
What could we be now?

I've seen it in my dreams
I still want to believe
What we are instead
I can't turn my head

Everyday I watch
As they count the dead

Mothers with their kids
Brothers with their sisters
Lying on the street
In a bloody heap

Every night I pray
Help us find a way

What could we be now?
What could we be now?
What could we be now?
What could we be now?

Pulling on the thread
Where does it begin?
Peace is what we seek
Take a pocket full of seeds

When your bodies fall
Sunflowers will grow
Where you bodies fall
Sunflowers will grow

What could we be now?
What could we be now?
What could we be now?
What could we be now?
Where we are right now
Where we are right now
Where we are right now

Sunflowers grow all around
Sunflowers grow all around
