The Feast of Flowers in the evening hours The world is ours at the Feast of Flowers Open the curtain of the past again The breeze is so inviting A fragrant spell Is springing From an ancient well An almost island in-between the seas Where hearts of palm are beating Cicadas making music Clouds gathering above This land that we love The sound of sails on a foamy shore When tall ships were invading Wood and steel And secrets The Western World concealed Shouts of welcome in a local tongue Gifts of tabby and coquina The feast for them was ending When it had just begun In this land that they loved Their stories buried under sandy soil Secrets still worth keeping They're safer from harm Clay pots and sacred charms And flowers The Feast of Flowers blooms on Spanish towers Reveal yours powers, it's feast on the flowers Built by citrus picked by darkest hands Lonely farmlands still remind me Before them stood plantations Our sordid history Overbrimming with the fruits of toil It was a feast for masters only Unknown slaves who labored Bless them everyone In this land under the sun In the garden when the moon is high The gator's eyes are gleaming An inverse world reflected Changing with the tide The Swanee river running ever wild The St. John's fleeing northward Baptizing with beauty Cleansing holy ground In this feast where all is found A land of plenty and a land of poor No halcyon days of yore The past is unforgiving The present's giving more Than flowers Pull back the curtain of the past again Examine it unflinching Like citrus trees we're grafted To what came before Stories built on stories Forevermore This land where we were born! A feast of joy and pain And the fossilized remains Of flowers The Feast of Flowers in the evening hours The world is ours at the Feast of Flowers
