WHERE HAVE ALL THE FLOWER CHILDREN GONE?
by Mickey James/Sharon Spivey

IT ALL BEGAN AT WOODSTOCK, THAT’S WHAT I HEARD ‘EM SAY
WHEN COUNTRY JOE AND JIMI BLEW 'EM ALL AWAY
SAW IT ON THE T.V., WISHED THAT I WAS THERE
LYIN' ON A BLANKET, WITH FLOWERS IN MY HAIR

CHORUS:
WHERE HAVE ALL THE FLOWER CHILDREN GONE?
WHERE IS ALL THAT PEACE AND LOVE THEY BUILT THEIR DREAMS UPON?
CAN ANYBODY TELL ME WHERE DID WE GO WRONG
AND WHERE HAVE ALL THE FLOWER CHILDREN GONE?

ANOTHER HATE CRIME BOMBING LAST NIGHT ON CNN
NEXT ELECTION’S COMING, SAME OL’ THING AGAIN
THEY CAUGHT A SEVENTH GRADER WITH HIS DADDY'S LOADED GUN 
NOW WHO’S THE ONE TO BLAME NOW, THE FATHER OR THE SON?

CHORUS: REPEAT
	
AND THE DOVES TOOK WING FROM SHORE TO SHORE
WHEN THEY HEARD THOSE FAR OFF CANNONS ROAR
THEY ASKED HOW COME, THEY ASKED WHAT FOR
THEY FED THEIR HEADS, THEY STOPPED A WAR
AND THE GENERATION TIME FORGOT
TAUGHT THEIR CHILDREN WELL, THEY THOUGHT

CHORUS: REPEAT

WHERE HAVE ALL THE FLOWER CHILDREN GONE

I am a Nashville songwriter now living in Florida. I wrote Lorrie Morgan's 1st number one single, "Out Of Your Shoes" with Patti Ryan and Jill Wood. I am still "hard at play" pursuing my passion writing songs that I hope will  entertain and perhaps even make a difference.
