Ooooooooooooooo
Oh, the summer time is coming
And the leaves are sweet returning
But those flowers of peace
It's for them I'm really yearning
Will they bloom, ever bloom?
Will they bloom in the springtime,
O you flowers of peace?
When the world should be in ring time,
Will you bloom, ever bloom?
I built my lava bower
By a crystal flowing river
But the thing her heart desires
Is a thing I cannot give her
Will they bloom, ever bloom?
Will they bloom in the springtime?
Oh, you flowers of peace,
when the world should be in ring time,
will you bloom, ever bloom?
Oh, Providence, mild, impassive,
When I fell on bended knees,
said the lives of your empires
are no more than swarms of bees
If you and I would see those flowers,
Get up and rose your neighbor,
And when first the seed is planted
Then it takes long and careful labor
Then they'll bloom, ever bloom
Then you'll bloom in the springtime
O you flowers of peace,
and the world will be in ring time,
then you'll bloom, ever bloom.
If you and I would see those flowers
Grow out until the fertile soil
It will take more than prayers
For it takes heart and sweaty toil
Then you'll bloom, ever bloom
Then you'll bloom in the springtime
Oh you flowers of peace
And the world will be in ring time
than you'll bloom, ever bloom.
