I picked this for you mommy,
I've got it in my hand.
I can't wait until you see this,
aren't the colors grand?
I picked this for you mommy,
it's a flower, me to you.
I looked real hard to find it,
like this one there were few.
I picked this for you mommy,
but I don't think that man cared,
he just took that gun and pointed,
and aimed at my brown hair.
I picked this for you mommy,
but I fear that you won't see,
how pretty all the colors were,
and how it smelled so sweet.

I don't know the whole story, but, sometime ago, in, i believe, the area of bosnia, there was much unrest among two separate groups of people...but war quickly broke out when a sniper, unprovoked, shot a little boy in the head who was just carrying a flower to his mommy, and this story (maybe picture?) spread.

*edit: got rid of the last stanza...

And in the daylight we can hitchhike to Maine
I hope that someday I'll see without these frames
And in the daylight I don't pick up my phone
'Cause in the daylight anywhere feels like home
