[Verse 1: Syreeta]
The strangest thought came to me on this morning
As I awoke to greet the coming dawn
The sun was hardly peaking through the garden
It felt that with everything, I was one

[Chorus: Syreeta]
Then I wished that I could come back
As a flower, as a flower, as a flower
How I wished that I could come back
As a flower, as a flower
To spread the sweetness of love
To spread the sweetness of love

[Verse 2: Syreeta]
The dew had finished making love to many
A rainbow smelling sweet was in the air
I envied all the silence I saw growing
So unmoved by things outside of themselves

[Chorus: Syreeta, Stevie Wonder]
And how I wished that I could come back
As a flower, as a flower, as a flower
How I wished that I could come back
As a flower, as a flower
To spread the sweetness of love
[Chorus: Syreeta, Stevie Wonder]
How I wished that I could come back
As a flower, oh, as a flower, as a flower
How I wished that I could come back
As a flower, as a flower
To spread the sweetness of love
To spread the sweetness of love
