Went out walking late last night
Danced beneath the crystal stars
Prayed for freedom in this lonely world
I'm not feeling lonely now
Cause I'm ready to try
And I'm ready to fly
I'm ready now

I smelled the flowers today
Smelled the flowers today
Smelled the flowers today
Smelled the flowers today
What more is there to say
I smelled the flowers
The pretty flowers today
Hey hey

Put a mirror to your octopus
And quit your grabbin' for a while
I see the sunshine in the way the clouds are movin
They don't, well they don't fool me

Cause I'm ready to give
And I'm ready to live
I'm ready now

I smelled the flowers today
Smelled the flowers today
Smelled the flowers today
Smelled the flowers today
What more is there to say
I smelled the flowers
The pretty flowers today
Hey hey

I know a part of me is dying just like everybody else
But I know God made me high
Why can't everybody else be

I smelled the flowers today
Smelled the flowers today
Smelled the flowers today
Smelled the flowers today
What more is there to say
I smelled the flowers

I smelled the flowers today
Smelled the flowers today
I smelled the flowers
Smelled the flowers
What more, what more is there to say
Smelled the flowers
The pretty flowers today
Hey hey
