You bloom where you are planted Just like the dandelion Even though the change is hard The end of the tunnel will always brighten The seeds spread out and adapt To their brand new home The change is tough but they suck it up And so must I to be bold For the next 3 years, this is my place But when my time is up we do it all again But no matter what it makes me happy To be part of this mission and always making friends Make new friends but keep the old One is green and one is gold
We bloom where we are planted It can be anywhere, even Japan We must go where the Military sends us That has always been the plan But even if we like it or not We chose to be happy or mad The place can be worth a shot And no matter what it’s all we’ve got So we better make the best of what we have We grow where we are planted We grow, we sprout, bloom That’s the military child way It can all happen too soon But we make the best of what we are handed And its an adventure every day We adapt to what we are granted Then we can all bloom where we are planted
