[Verse 1]
A frozen heart beat under the snow
I've been waiting, ready to grow
Shivering and weathering storms
Dreaming of some other place warm

Blossom
Kerli
[Verse 1]
A frozen heart beat under the snow
I've been waiting, ready to grow
Shivering and weathering storms
Dreaming of some other place warm
[Pre-Chorus]
While my roots hid deeper inside
And my leaves stay bundled up tight
I felt my faith get bigger than life
Not only did I survive...
[Chorus]
I learned to blossom
I learned to blossom, finding sunlight in the grey
Knowing I will be okay
I learned to blossom, finding sunlight in the grey
Through a lifetime with no rain
I'll blossom
[Verse 2]
Wilted voices ghostly in wind
Whispering "this could be the end"
Why are they forgetting me not?
Can't they see I'm hurting enough?
[Pre-Chorus]
While my roots hid deeper inside
And my leaves stay bundled up tight
I felt my faith get bigger than life
Not only did I survive...
[Chorus]
I learned to blossom
I learned to blossom, finding sunlight in the grey
Knowing I will be okay
I learned to blossom, finding sunlight in the grey
Through a lifetime with no rain
I'll blossom
I learned to blossom
I learned to blossom, finding sunlight in the grey
Knowing I will be okay
I learned to blossom, finding sunlight in the grey
Through a lifetime with no rain
I'll blossom
[Outro]
And I'll bloom
And I'll bloom
And I'll bloom
Hey, hey, hey, hey

“Blossom”, as explained in the music video's description, is “an ode to the plant kingdom” and a testament to overcoming obstacles. The title's subject is a reference to ancient Estonia's healing plants.
The song is the second single off of Kerli's first album since the Utopia EP.
As written in the music video's intro:
Four thousands of years, the people of estonia have lived in harmony with its diverse plant kingdom. Whether by healing or sustaining one another, not only have we survived – we've learned to blossom.
In the song, Kerli becomes a plant and compares her life to that of a flower. The lyrics are told from the flower's perspective, a concept that Kerli further emphasized in the video's imagery.
