We lift our faces to taste the sun
We close our petals when the day is done.
We are one with the green that feeds on light
We dream of sweet dew on our leaves at night.
Peace with the blossoms, petals like silk
Together we drink of heaven's white milk
And peace with the nations, far from our shores
We love all who our sky also adores.
