This track represents being in the present and appreciating the change of life's seasons. In doing so, I can relish in the fact that I have so much beauty right before my eyes. The marigold flower can only grow in the summer and with much needed sunlight it radiates beauty. When the summer season arrives we can take joy in this beauty and realize that we are ok...whatever the circumstances.
lyrics
Chalk dust on the driveway
Covered in purple, blues, and greens
Frozen strawberry ice cubes
Dripping in watermelon juice
Cannon balls in the deep end
Bees flying over our heads
Rainbows form from the water mist
And the sun shines bright again
This summer glow
I’m fine I’m alright
This summer glow
I’m fine I’m alright
Only time will show
I’m fine I’m alright
This summer glow
Finally this marigold can grow
Long drives to the ocean
Covered in sand from head to toe
Deep dives in the water
Picking up shells that we can throw
Sunlight burning our skin
Running into crashing waves
Cover up in a beach towel
As the sun shines bright again
This summer glow
I’m fine I’m alright
This summer glow
I’m fine I’m alright
Only time will show
I’m fine I’m alright
This summer glow
Finally this marigold can grow
