Resisting, growing
Like carnations of the air
Against all adversity
Waiting, like birds
At the high traffic lights
Watching the world go by
We will be carnations of the air
Seeking to resist in the storm
From every stormy night
A new Sun will rise again
Resisting, the elderly
Cross the street arm in arm
Waiting, like an owner
For his pet at night
Resisting with love
And friendship in a decaying place
We will be carnations of the air
Seeking to resist in the storm
From every stormy night
A new Sun will rise again
