Dandelion
Unveiling Life's Truths Through "Dandelion" Wisdom
Lyrics
Prince or pauper, beggar man or thing
Regardless of social status, everyone engages in the game of life.
Play the game with ev'ry flower you bring
Participate in life's experiences with each opportunity presented.
Dandelion don't tell no lies
Dandelion is symbolic of honesty and purity.
Dandelion will make you wise
The dandelion's influence imparts wisdom.
Tell me if she laughs or cries
Seek insight into emotions – laughter or tears.
Blow away dandelion
Metaphorically blowing away the dandelion represents letting go of worries.
One o'clock, two o'clock, three o'clock, four o'clock chimes
Time passes, but dandelions remain indifferent to it.
Dandelions don't care about the time
Dandelions are not constrained by time.
Dandelion don't tell no lies
Continued emphasis on the honesty of the dandelion.
Dandelion will make you wise

Tell me if she laughs or cries
Asking again for insight into emotions – laughter or tears.
Blow away dandelion, blow away dandelion

Tho' you're older now its just the same
Despite aging, the game represented by the dandelion remains unchanged.

When you're finished with your childlike prayers
After completing youthful prayers, wear the dandelion as a badge of experience.
Well, you know you should wear it
