STEVIE WONDER lyrics : "Black Orchid"

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 that's 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
She's femininity


Black Orchid, Black Orchid
Why did they make you begin
When they know in time you'll 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
