The seeds are planted in the ground
With some work the flower shall grow
And as the flower starts to glow
The rain begins to pour
Oh, lovely flower, ooh time can wear you down
Oh, if someone wanted, he could crush you to the ground
And if we care and if we dare, the flower stays alive
Just before the birth of spring
The winter strips the flower bare
But when the birds begin to sing
The life begins anew
Oh, lovely flower, ooh time can wear you down
Oh, if someone wanted, he could crush you to the ground
And if we care and if we dare, the flower stays alive
Drought can cloud the radiance
Too much water is a crime
Pulling pedals from the stem
Causes awfully rugged times
Oh, lovely flower, ooh time can wear you down
Oh, if someone wanted, he could crush you to the ground
And if we care and if we dare, the flower stays alive
