The Flower
We could be the healin'
When you're feeling all alone
We could be the reason
To find the strength to carry on
In a world that's so divided
We shall overcome
We could be the healin'
We can be the flower in the gun
We could be the healin'
We can be the flower in the gun
What would I say to my son or to my daughter
If they came and asked me 'bout these days
What kinda reason could I give
For all the hate that's standing in the way
Wish I could tell 'em that nobody's gonna judge them
And every stranger on the block is gonna love them
No bully in the world will ever hurt 'em
But I can't say that today
No one could ever take your pride from you
Speak your truth and let your spirit fly
'Cause we could be the healin'
When you're feeling all alone
We could be the reason
To find the strength to carry on
In a world that's so divided
We shall overcome
We could be the healin'
We can be the flower in the gun
We could be the healin'
We can be the flower in the gun
