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
