Lyrics The Flower - Victoria Canal , Michael Franti & Spearhead

We can be the healing
When you're feeling all alone
We can be the reason
To find the strength to carry on
In a world that's so divided
We shall overcome

We can be the healing
We can be the flower in the gun
We can be the healing
We can be the flower in the gun

What could 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 could ever hurt em
But I can't say that today

No-o
No one could ever take your pride from you
Speak your truth and let your spirit fly

Cause we can be the healing
When you're feeling all alone
We could be the reason
Yeah-ah
To find the strength to carry on

In a world that's so divided
We shall overcome
We can be the healing
We can be the flower in the gun
We can be the healing
We can be the flower in the gun

What could I say to every woman who was ever told
By a man "don't try to reach to high"
What could I say to every girl who was betrayed
And told to keep the pain locked inside

Wish I could say nobody's ever gonna judged me
Every stranger on the block is gonna love me
No bully in the world is gonna hurt me
But I can't say that today

No-o
No one could ever take my pride from me
I'll speak my truth and let my spirit fly

Cause we can be the healing
When you're feeling all alone
We could be the reason
Yeaah
To find the strength to carry on

In a world that's so divided
We shall overcome
We can be the healing
We can be the flower in the gun
We can be the healing
We can be the flower in the gun

It's like dropping pebbles into the ocean
And seeing em spread ripples around the world
Let me hear you sing...

Woah-oh-o
Woah-oh-o
Yeah-eh-ah
Yeah-ah
Woah-oh-o
Woah-oh-o
Yeah-eh-ah
Everybody say
Woah-oh-o
Woah-oh-o
Yeah-eh-ah
Yeah-eh-ah
Woah-oh-o
Woah-oh-o
Yeah-eh-ah

Cause we can be the healing (oooh)
When you're feeling all alone
We could be the reason
Yeah
To find the strength to carry on

In a world that's so divided
We shall overcome
Cause we can be the healing
Yeah
We can be the flower in the gun
We can be the healing
We can be the flower in the gun

We can be the healing (can be the healing)
We can be the flower in the gun
We can be the healing
We could be the flower in the gun
