I planted a flower and now every hour feel down

Rise up and start singing
E
Woke up for hours, love is a power to count

Rise up and start singing
<chorus>
E
See, I was ready for love
I had to be sure
F# B7
I was loving but nothing but nothing but love
I was searching for soul
But now even more
Dm A+ B7
I want to mean something for others so
<verse>
Planted a flower, some say for hours and more
Rise up and start singing
You got me now, and I've waited outside of your door
Rise up and start singing
<bridge>

What do we forget to know that
E
I love you no more

You will never be happy

If husbands and cousins and wives isn't free
D E
Then no one who looks in your eyes isn't free
A F#m
If you compensate that you're life isn't free
D E A
Then how come you can't feel you thought you're happy?
If farmers and nurses and the like isn't free
Then nothing is always what it's like to be free
If houses and curses and lies isn't free
Then how's it you know that your life could be me?
If somebody says that your life isn't free
Now that you know that your eyes can be free
I knew once you sat on the roof as happy
Then how can't you love you and pass this to me
If husbands and killers and wives isn't free
Then how can't you know that your life isn't free?
If husbands and bosses and Christ could be free
How could you sit here and feel sorry to be?
