Lyrics for Mother Earth's Flower Shop

Mother Earth's Flower Shop

Down on Second Street
Just past the ice cream shop
There’s a special store
With a sunny yellow top
This is where Mother Earth
Sits and waits for hours
To help broken-hearted
Mommy and Daddy flowers

Some walk right past
And don’t notice this special store
But others are glad it’s there
Because there’s magic behind the door

We were sad flowers
Our heads bent towards the ground
We had been waiting so long
For you to come around
We went to this special shop
With our drooping heads
Mother Earth gave us a hug
And this is what she said:

Some just need extra soil and they will grow like weeds
Others I have to give donated flower seeds
Mother Earth can spin together petals in a dish
A daffodil and a daisy receive their sweet rose wish

Mother Earth’s Flower Shop
It’s a very special store
Mother Earth’s Flower Shop
There’s magic behind the door

There are many ways
To build a family
Many ways to have a child
And turn two into three
These flowers are unique
Those tended by Mother Earth
Because she had her hand
In all those flowers’ births

Mother Earth’s Flower Shop
It’s a very special store
Mother Earth’s Flower Shop
There’s magic behind the door

The flowers who come to her
There’s more than you’re aware of
They’re just looking for
A flower to take care of
She gives them special seeds
Or sometimes full-grown flowers
And brings together love
To live in sheltered bowers

My precious little bulbs that’s how you came to be
You made our garden grow into a flower family
Now that you know that you’re from Mother Earth’s special room
You know you were made with love so bloom and bloom and bloom
