Black Orchid — текст песни (Stevie Wonder)

A flake of snow within a storm

A new way waiting to be born

In a world with need of change

A touch of love in fear of hate

A rushing wind thats asked to wait

For the promises of rain

A pearl of wisdom entrapped by poverty



She gives love with purity

Filling minds with hopeful schemes

To build worlds enhanced by peace

Draped in sparkling morning dew

She expresses life anew

From the earth beneath her feet

She is a flower that grows

In love ability

Shes femininity



Black orchid, black orchid

Why did they make you begin

When they know in time youll find your truth

Before your cycle ends

Black orchid, black orchid

Why are you crying their fears

When the true reflection of you that they see

Is love besieged by years



She has touched the farthest star

Her beauty speaks of what we are

And her freedom makes us free

Her now is in eternity

Infinite to all that see

And her dreams have been achieved

Now there is a sound of laughter

Nature signs out her name

For the world to know her fame



Black orchid, black orchid

Why did they criticize

When they knew your love could cast its spell and

Consecrate their eyes

Black orchid, black orchid

Why do you linger in space

When you know in every heart that beats

You hold a special place

When you know in every heart that beats

You hold a special place
