B                                   F                E 
When I was young I played among the trees, where the trains had once been seen 
B                 F                         E 
I took a seed and planted it right beside a tree to see if it would bloom for me

C                            F 
Plant a flower in the world, let it smile on all who will find it 
C                             F 
plant a flower in your heart, let it shine on all who surround it 


[Verso 2]
 
B                   F                             E 
When I grew up I returned to the place that I had been just to see what was waiting for me 
B                           F                         E 
I found a flower and it was standing so beautiful and free and I knew that is was smiling for me

plant a flower in your heart, let it shine on all who surround it
