Where have all the flowers gone?
A nation weeps for you
All we have are words
Promises that were never true

A spoken myth passed on
Change... a far away place
Eyes that seek the soul
See only a blank face

The petals wander alone
Searching for a stem
Unable to join together
Unable to find begin again

The plow destroyed the garden
War, the hand on the till
We, with our faded memories
Take refuge in our daily pill

The vultures glide above us
Silently seeking their prey
We, unknowing, flounder
Grasping at honor as we play

Our hearts confront the horror
Inviting the bullet home
Take us from this place
We cannot grow in stone
