Lyrics
[verse]
If you're heading out toward that city by the bay
Wear a flower in your hair along the way
There you'll meet the gentle souls of a brand new time
Sharing love and music in the summer clime
[chorus]
Flowers in your hair, love out on the street
Strangers turned to family whenever they meet
A whole generation with a brand new song
Come along to where the hopeful all belong
[verse]
All across the nation there's a change in the air
Young hearts calling out, they don't need to prepare
Just an open mind and a gentle way to be
Part of something bigger than you or me
[chorus]
Flowers in your hair, love out on the street
Strangers turned to family whenever they meet
A whole generation with a brand new song
Come along to where the hopeful all belong
[bridge]
Summer's calling, so many roads to roam
Every stranger's welcome, every heart's a home
If you're going, let the gentle spirit show
Peace and flowers everywhere you go
[chorus]
Flowers in your hair, love out on the street
Strangers turned to family whenever they meet
A whole generation with a brand new song
Come along to where the hopeful all belong
