Land of Flowers

When I was a child, there was so much water here
Deep and clear as a mermaid's dream
Now there is dust on the prairie
And we are high and dry

There was some magic on that shoreline
As far as the eye could see was only palms
And never another would you see all day
Now that is high rise and dry

Let us pray for the Land of Flowers
That she might stay as dark and wild and green
As she can be
Let us pray that's within our power
Amen, Amen

There is a dark cloud on the Land of Sunshine
That never brings any rain
The only thing that's rainin' down
Is a rich man's dollar
And my beautiful land will never be the same

Let us pray for the Land of Flowers
That she might stay as dark and wild and green
As she can be
Let us pray that's within our power
Amen, Amen
