Flower on my Grave
Eva Hamer
VERSE 1
G5
There will be no flower on my grave
Bm
No headstone placed to name me
G9
Though I wish I someday will be saved
Bm
I have no hope to be free
I was born already in a cage
I never met my mother
I know I’ll die at far too young an age
They killed my days old brothers
CHORUS Bm A If I had a voice, I’d use it G F#m If I had a choice, I’d misbehave Bm A If there was a way, I’d choose it G F# That I’d have a flower on my grave
VERSE 2
My birth right is only suffering and pain
I wasn’t born a human
My killer will be free to murder every day
for meat, milk, fur and skin
I would speak for those I could not save If I were born a human I’d place a flower on each and every grave Though short and brief the wingspan BRIDGE C There is no more life for me Bm I know that now Am The bodies are surrounding me so G tightly C My wingspan and intelligence Bm cannot delay my final breath Am If only I were tall and armed and G mighty
CHORUS
VERSE 3
Remember me and those you could not save
Hear my dying plea
Please go place a flower on my grave
Be the first to name me
