If I Could Divide the Smell of Flowers

If I could divide the smell of flowers I'd send some to the falsely charged Locked in prison cells Send some to the lonely seniors Trapped in apartment hells Send some to the weary miners Sweating beneath the ground Send some to the invisible people Hauling our garbage round Some answers in life are so easy Like zero plus zero is none But how do we divide the smell of flowers So their fragrance is shared by everyone? If I could divide the smell of flowers I'd pass some to the frightened animals Caged against their wills Pass some to the dying birds Choking on oil spills Pass some to the angry kids Sniffing up airplane glue Pass some to the crying widow Missing the Love she knew Some answers in life are so easy Like zero plus zero is none But how do we divide the smell of flowers So their fragrance is shared by everyone? If I could divide the smell of flowers Then you'd always have your share If I could divide the smell of flowers There'd be sweetness around you Everywhere...
