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
