If I Could Divide the Smell of Flowers

If I could divide the smell of flowers

Id send some to the falsely charged

Locked in prison cells

Send some to the lonely seniors

Trapped in apartment hells

Send some to the weary miners

Sweating beneath the ground

Send some to the invisible people

Hauling our garbage round

 

Some answers in life are so easy

Like zero plus zero is none

But how do we divide the smell of flowers

So their fragrance is shared by everyone?

 

If I could divide the smell of flowers

Id pass some to the frightened animals

Caged against their wills

Pass some to the dying birds

Choking on oil spills

Pass some to the angry kids

Sniffing up airplane glue

Pass some to the crying widow

Missing the Love she knew

 

Some answers in life are so easy

Like zero plus zero is none

But how do we divide the smell of flowers

So their fragance is shared by everyone?

 

If I could divide the smell of flowers

Then youd always have your share

If I could divide the smell of flowers

Thered be sweetness around you

 

Everywhere...
