Orchids Have to Grow in the Dark Songtext
von Margriet Eshuijs

You′re standing in the corner
Not knowing what to do
Staring at the prima donna
Wishing so hard it was you
And you wonder how to get there
What's the secret in her eyes?
It takes time

It′s getting close to midnight
You feel the tension too
Watching all those cruising slick guys
But they don't come up to you
And so you hide that great desire
That is burning deep inside
It takes time


And it takes time to cross the border
Between a dream and what is real
And like a flower you grow older
And your beauty be revealed
So don't you worry, it will happen
Don′t let it change the way you are
Orchids have to grow in the dark

Pretty people on the dance floor
Excitement everywhere
Is this what you really long for?
′Cause no one seems to know you're there
They don′t see how much you want to
Change the darkness for the light
It takes time

And it takes time to cross the border
Between a dream and what is real
And like a flower you grow older
And your beauty be revealed
So don't you worry, it will happen
Don′t let it change the way you are
Orchids have to grow in the dark


And it takes time to cross that border
Oh, I know just how you feel
'Cause I′ve been there, now that I'm older
I can say the dream gets real
So don't you worry, it will happen
You will be that shining star
Orchids have to grow in the dark

But it takes time
Ooh
It takes time
