Will somebody wear
me to the fair?
Will a lady pin
me in her hair?
Will a child find me
by a stream?
ooh kiss my petals
weave me through
a dream
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 a seed
of a flower
if he looks within
he finds beauty
and power
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 tears
let your heart beat freely
at the sign that
a new time is born
Mabel, Sadie,
Katie, Lola roses
say mama nana ya
uhn-hunh
Lookin' for a
Mabel, Katie
ooh Mabel, Sadie,
Katie, Lola roses
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
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 tears
let your heart beat freely
at the sign that
a new time is born
Ring all the bells
sing and tell the people
everywhere
that the flower has come
