VERSE 1:
Some people seem to get all of the breaks, it’s true.
And what is it that they are doing that we don’t do?
And could it be true that a person can try too hard;
That the treasures that we are all looking for
Can be found in own back yard?

CHORUS:
You must Bloom Where You’re Planted if you’re wantin’ to grow.
Tho’ the grass may seem greener somewhere else you should know,
That it’s just a mirage.
There’s a flower inside you just waiting there to
Bloom Where you’re Planted take a look at yourself;
No, you don’t need to steal your dream from somebody else.
By now you should know,
You must Bloom Where You’re Planted if you’re wantin’ to grow.

VERSE 2:
Why sit around wishin’ you could be someone else -
While all of your gifts gather dust on some lonely shelf?
When you can be more than your heart ever dreamed could be true,
And the world you’re so sure is just passing you by
Could be anxiously waiting for you.

CHORUS:
You must Bloom Where You’re Planted if you’re wantin’ to grow.
Tho’ the grass may seem greener somewhere else you should know,
That it’s just a mirage.
There’s a flower inside you just waiting there to
Bloom Where you’re Planted take a look at yourself;
No, you don’t need to steal your dream from somebody else.
By now you should know,
You must Bloom Where You’re Planted if you’re wantin’ to grow.

CHORUS:
You must Bloom Where You’re Planted if you’re wantin’ to grow.
Tho’ the grass may seem greener somewhere else you should know,
That it’s just a mirage.
There’s a flower inside you just waiting there to
Bloom Where you’re Planted take a look at yourself;
No, you don’t need to steal your dream from somebody else.
By now you should know,
You must Bloom Where You’re Planted if you’re wantin’ to grow.

CHORUS:
You must Bloom Where You’re Planted if you’re wantin’ to grow.
Tho’ the grass may seem greener somewhere else you should know,
That it’s just a mirage.
There’s a flower inside you just waiting there to
Bloom Where you’re Planted take a look at yourself;
No, you don’t need to steal your dream from somebody else.
By now you should know,
You must Bloom Where You’re Planted if you’re wantin’ to grow.
Yeah!
