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
