Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Will somebody wear me to the fair?
Will a lady pin me in her hair?
Will a child find me by a stream?
Kiss my petals, weave me through a dream
[Verse 2]
For all of these simple things and much more
A flower was born
It blooms to spread love and joy, faith and hope
To people forlorn
Inside every man lives the seed of a flower
If he looks within, he finds beauty and power
[Verse 3]
Ring all the bells, sing and tell the people
Everywhere that the flower has come
Light up the sky with your prayers of gladness
And rejoice, for the darkness is gone
Throw off your fears, let your heart beat freely
At the sign that a new time is born
[Verse 4]
For all of these simple things and much more
A flower was born
It blooms to spread love and joy, faith and hope
To people forlorn
Inside every man lives the seed of a flower
If he looks within, he finds beauty and power
