We are flowers VERSE 1

我们是花朵
standing up tall
gāo gāo zhàn lì
高高站立
soaking up the sun

吸着阳光
in the garden
zài huā yuán lǐ
在花园里
Along comes a cloud VERSE 2
yún piāo guò lái
云飘过来
and the rain starts to fall
yǔ xià qǐ lái
雨下起来
our roots drink it up
huā gēn hē zhe shuǐ
花根喝着水
in the garden
zài huā yuán lǐ

We are rainbow flowers in the garden CHORUS
wǒ mén shì huā yuán lǐ de cǎi hóng huā

So many colors make the world a beautiful place
