Red Flowers

Red were the flowers

Growing out of the ashes of war

Searching for the sun that was there before

Searching for the sun that was there

Red were the babes

Asleep in the fires made by man

Dreaming of the flowers that were there before

Dreaming of the flowers that were there

Now they're gone

How could mankind be so cruel

To do this thing they've done?

The one thing God cannot forgive

Is a babe who's never seen a flower grow

And a flower that's never seen the sun

My son

Our Father

In heart and in heaven above

Hallowed be your child's love

For the flower that's never seen the sun

For the flower and the child are one
