Bloom is the title track off Andrea Kirwin's new album. Written about choosing to overcome the struggles in our lives because we are designed to bloom. Sometimes these struggles can be our relationships with our own parents and those closest to us. It is up to each of us to find the light inside our souls and bring healing to our trauma, which can be painful and beautiful. This was the inspiration behind writing this song x
lyrics
Verse 1:
Bloom where you are planted
Soon your seeds will grow
You’ll never know how much I love you
More than you’ll every know
Verse 2:
Search and find the answers
To your hearts desires
Trust and it will flow my dear
All you need is love
Tenor Saxophone Solo
Verse 3:
If the dark seems endless
Look to the stars above
Find the light inside your soul
It will guide you home
Verse 4:
So, bloom where you are planted
Soon your seeds will grow
I will always love you
More than you’ll ever, more than you’ll ever
More than you’ll ever know
