In the spring there comes a new… 
Baby birds, insects 
And flowers are in bloom 

The grass awakes with drops of morning dew… 
And flowers are in bloom 

Flowers with colors of the sun, 
Sky and wind blossom with the waking day… 
And flowers are in bloom 

Trees bring forth the earthy 
Tones of browns and greens of 
Leaves to shade you… 
Because of the flowers they bloom 

Mornings are earlier and days are longer 
Grass, flowers and trees are reborn 
And flowers are in bloom
