Les Fleurs

Les Fleurs - Minnie Riperton/Richard Rudolph/Charles Stepney

Will somebody wear me to the fair

To the morning sings a lonely flower

Will a lady pin me in her hair

Mmm hmm hmm

Will a child find me by a stream

Daylight will give a sun-beam shower

Kiss my petals and 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 the seed of a flower

If he looks within he finds beauty and power

Ring all the bells sing and tell the people

That be 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 fears let your heart beat freely

At the sign that a new time is born

Mabel Sadie Katie Lola roses

Mabel Sadie Katie Lola roses

Say mama nana ya uhn-hunh

Mmm hmm hmm

Lookin' for a Mabel Katie

looking for a Mabel Katie

Ooh Mabel Sadie Katie Lola roses

Mmm hmm hmm

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
