Daisy

There's this song called "Daisy" by Switchfoot. I'm listening to it right now on my mp3. Here's how it goes:

Daisy, give yourself away
Look up at the rain
The beautiful display
Of power and surrender
Giving us today
When she gives herself away

Rain, another rainy day
Comes up from the ocean
Give herself away
She comes down easy
On rich and dead the same
When she gives herself away

Let it go Daisy, let it go
Open up your fist
This fallen world
Doesn't hold your interest
It doesn't hold your soul
Daisy, let it go

Pain, give yourself a name
Call yourself contrition
Avarice of blame
Giving isn't easy
Neither is the rain
When she gives herself away

Daisy, why another day?
Why another sunrise
Who will take the blame
For all redemptive motion
And every rainy day
When he gives himself away

Let it go Daisy, let it go
Open up your fist
This fallen world
It doesn't hold your interest
It doesn't hold your soul
Daisy, let it go

Let it go
Let it go
Let it go
And you let it go, go
Let it go

Let it go
Let it go, go
Let it go
Let it go

Whenever I hear this song I think of a little daisy in a little corner of the pavement when it's pouring. The daisy is struggling to fight against the world it's been placed in, but finally just opens up and embraces reality.

The words I don't understand I'll put on here, courtesy of dictionary.com (such a useful site!)
contrite - filled with a sense of guilt and the desire for atonement.
avarice - insatiable greed for riches; inordinate, miserly desire to gain and hoard wealth.

Funny the words/things that pop into your head when you start with a letter. I mean, D could've stood for anything: duel, dice, dry, dracula, doofus, etc. But instead what popped up was daisy, along with the song.

Daisies are such a beautiful flower - sweet, simple, and cheerful. Here is a picture below:
