lyrics

Bud and Bloom

You can’t own me you can’t control me
That’s what the mothers say
You can’t own me you can’t control me
That’s what the mothers say
You can’t take away my voice anymore
You can’t take away my voice anymore
That’s what the mothers say
That’s what the mothers say
Will the little girls pick up their magic wands
And blow us all away

Defend my kin to the very end
That’s what the fathers say
Defend my kin to the very end
That’s what the fathers say
Flash across the sky like lightening
Flash across the sky like lightening
That’s what the fathers say
That’s what the fathers say
Will the little boys pick up their magic guns
And blow us all away

Ooooh-yeah
I don’t wanna believe
That we’re ever gonna end
Ooooh-yea
Into the ground my roots are burrowing
Don’t wanna hide my head in the sand

Bud and bloom and fade and fall away
That’s what the flowers say
Bud and bloom and fade and fall away
That’s what the flowers say
Spread the seed drink water drink the sun
Spread the seed drink water drink the sun
That's what the flowers say
Be the beauty of resplendent life
Before you die away

Ooooh-yeah
I don’t wanna believe
That we’re ever gonna end
Ooooh-yea
Into the ground my roots are burrowing
Don’t wanna hide my head in the sand

about

Elizabeth Hummel Olympia, Washington

I have been writing songs most of my life. A good bit of recording and performing too. Money comes and goes, but the muse is precious and timeless. I pray that my songs help people through darkness as well as celebrate the light. This music is a village and I am not alone. I am deeply grateful to the many people who have helped me birth these songs in so many ways. You are the Love! ... more
