Skip chords and lyrics
Verse 1
(D major) Think of (G major) (C major) (G major) (D major) (C major) (G major)
(D major) the children as roses (G major)
Fragile (C major) as flowers (G major) they live (D major)
If you help a child or a (E minor) rose, (G major)
you'll (C major) get back more (G major) than you give. (D major)
If you had a flower (E minor) that (F sharp minor) (G major)
you (A major) wanted to blow, (D major)
would you keep it from (E minor) sunlight,
(F sharp minor) Get (G major) away (A major) in some (D major) room
Children are (G major) flowers
Their bloom yet unsung (D major)
Your love is their (E minor) water (F sharp minor)
Your (G major) wisdom's (A major) their sun (D major)
Think of the children as (G major) roses
Fragile (C major) as flowers (G major) they live (D major)
When you help a child or a rose (E minor) (G major)
You (C major) get back more (G major) than
you give (D major) (C major) (G major) (D major)
How (E minor) many faces
Have (F sharp minor) (G major) (A major) each of us seen (D major)
On bitter (E minor) people,
(F sharp minor) de (G major) feated (A major) and (D major) mean,
Weren't they once (G major) children
with dreams of their own? (D major)
But a dream left untended (E minor)
is (F sharp minor) (G major) a (A major) dream never (D major) grown.
Think of yourself as a (G major) gardener,
imagine (C major) each child (G major) as a seed (D major)
Sprinkle them gently with
kindness (E minor) and love
Love (C major) is what (G major) everything needs, (D major)
love (C major) is what (G major) everything needs (D major) you
