fiogf49gjkf0d A little Flower
(Tell me what it’s worth)
Just a little flower
Growing in my garden
Just a little flower
For which I beg your pardon
A little ray of sunshine Falling on the earth
Captured in the leaves Tell me what it’s worth
Grown for relaxation Growing from the earth
And herbal remedies Tell me what it’s worth
So many people fighting Tell me what it’s worth
Wrongs that don’t need righting Tell me what it’s worth
So many people in jail Tell me what it’s worth
So many people for sale Tell me what it’s worth
People losing their money Tell me what it’s worth
People losing their homes Tell me what it’s worth
People losing their freedom Tell me what it’s worth
People losing their children Tell me what it’s worth
Just a simple flower Growing from the earth
With it’s simple pleasure Tell me what it’s worth
And relief of suffering Growing from the earth
Tell me how to measure Tell me what it’s worth
Help for those with cancer Growing from the earth
Or in chemotherapy Tell me what it’s worth
Help for those with pain Growing from the earth
In their low extremities Tell me what it’s worth
We got to pay the smugglers Tell me what it’s worth
We got to pay the dealers Tell me what it’s worth
We got to pay the lawyers Tell me what it’s worth
We got to pay the cops Tell me what it’s worth
We got to buy the prisons Tell me what it’s worth
And the helicopters Tell me what it’s worth
We got to buy the shackles Tell me what it’s worth
In which they have us bound Tell me what it’s worth
Just a little sunshine Falling on the earth
A little bit of rain Tell me what it’s worth
Just a little flower Growing from the earth
Tell me what it’s worth Tell me what it’s worth
Tell me tell me... Tell me what it’s worth...
