COME BACK AS A FLOWER


I hide myself within my flower,
That fading from your Vase,
You, unsuspecting, feel for me --
Almost a loneliness

Emily Dickinson


COME BACK AS A FLOWER (Stevie Wonder, The Secret Life of Plants, 1979)
The strangest thought came
to me on this morning
As I awake to greet the coming dawn
The sun was hardly peaking
through the garden
It felt that with everything I was one

Then I wished that I could
come back as a flower
As a flower
As a flower
How I wished that I could
come back as a flower
As a flower
To spread the sweetness of love
To spread the sweetness of love

The dew had finished
making love to many
A rainbow smelling
sweet was in the air
I envied all the silence I saw growing
So unmoved by things
outside themselves

Then how I wished that
I could come back as a
flower
As a flower
As a flower
How I wished that I could
come back as a flower
As a flower
To spread the sweetness of love

How I wished that I could
come back as a flower
Oh as a flower
As a flower
How I wished that I could
come back as a flower
As a flower
As a flower
To spread the sweetness of love
To spread the sweetness of love
