Story Behind The Song
70% of a prairie's biomass exists underground. In addition, prairies require fire to further their growth. This beautiful aspect of the natural world is an inspiring example of how we can learn, grow, and rebuild even after we experience loss and destruction in our lives.

Lyrics
I love to stand
Next to flowers taller than me
Reaching up their petals open to the sun
I wanna grow wild like them
Wild and free
I love to walk
Where the grass grows abundantly
Crashing into each other as they rise
I wanna grow close like them
And be prairie
I tried to love
'Til the flame came flashing through me
And here where my roots dig deep in the ground
The ash will settle
And I'll start clean
A new prairie
