The Language of Flowers

This song is based on a section of Earhart Tolle's book "A New Earth" where he discussed the emergence of the first flower on the planet .

​The Language of Flowers
It was early one morning 100 million years ago
When the first flower on the planet
Showed its face to the face of the sun
There was no one around that morning
 To see that such wonderful show
When a new phase of evolution
 Had only just begun

For hundreds of millions of years
The plants had no flowers
As they struggled to survive
When this new earth was begun
They needed all their powers
Just to stay alive
They had no time for beauty
To show to the face of the sun
 

​
​Flowers are messengers from creation
They speak in a language that shows us how to live
They speak to us of beauty and of the joy of giving
They speak in a language
That shows us how to love
 
And each of the flowers brings its own message
Just like the first flower
A hundred million years ago
And now we are here
To appreciate their beauty
And share the love they share with us
With everyone we know
