Europa

the woman in black
veiled in hiding
always stumbles upon
the blooming orchid
and while the gardens
aren't what we remembered
The principles remain
that a girl looking for love
will seek out a flower
to answer her prayers

In her darkest hour
plodding through the forrest
she always finds the way
back into the morning light
and while the paths
aren't as we remembered
The principles remain
that a girl looking for love
will seek out a flower
to calm her fears

destiny remains uninvolved
what can possibly be done
to change the nature of things
The woman wants to help
The orchid strives for justice
until need supersedes her
until she seeks her own help
the flower waits for something
worthy of enchantment
the rose cannot unfold

So go girl, get you out of here
plod along throughout europe
find the god that bred you
seek him in a man of character
discover a brand new world
which we never remembered
finding the principals still remain
that a girl looking for love
will seek out a flower
to assure her desires
