G              2                3   4

Every flower's reaching for the sun



               

G           5              Em              G7

Every petal opens when the day has just be-gun



             

Cmaj7       F7              8       B7          Em

Even in the city where they grow up through the street



                                  

      Asus              A7                            11  12

Every blossom needs the sunshine to make its life com-plete.



            

Bm7             B7               Em   G7

Torn out by the roots and cast a-side



             

    Cmaj7           Dsus         D  Dm,6,9   E7

And some might be a-ranged for a bride





            

  Cmaj7           F7             Bm7  E7

A flower's just a seed when it's young



                

    Am7            D7               G

And every flower's reaching for the sun.





Instrumental Break







            

Bm7              B7             Em   G7

Some are bent by fears they can-not see





                  

    Cmaj7               Dsus         D    Dm6,9  E7

And some are touched by Love and set free





              

  Cmaj7           F7             Bm7    E7

A flower's just a seed when it's young





          

    Am7            D7

And every flower's reaching



      

   Bm7            Gb,5,6

Oh every flower's reaching





         

G              Am7      D7      G

Every flower's reaching for the sun.
