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
