[Intro]
\nA flower
\n(Empower her)<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nTowering over Istanbul
\n(Coming to you from above)
\nSending out a signal
\n(Be the messenger of love)<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nHear’s the thing
\n(What message do you bring)
\nA flower
\n(Empower her)<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nOver Istanbul you rule
\n(Coming in from above)
\nPeace… white dove?
\n(Wiser or more the fool)<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nHear’s the thing
\n(What message do you bring)
\nA flower
\n(Empower her)<\/p>\n

[Refrain]
\nOught a man
\n(Ottoman)
\nTulip
\n(Going up)
\nOught a man
\n(Ottoman)
\nTulip
\n(Going up)
\nA flower
\n(Empower)<\/p>\n

[Outro]
\nOught a man
\n(Ottoman)
\nTulip
\n(Going up)
\nOught a man
\n(Ottoman)
\nIstanbul
\n(Let love rule)
\nA flower
\n(Empower her)<\/p>\n
