We are the roses in the garden,
C9 G C9
beauty with thorns among our leaves.
G D
To pick a rose, you ask your hands to bleed
C9 G
but what is the reason for having roses
C9 G C9
when your blood is shed carelessly?
G Em
It must be for something more than vanity.
C9 G
Believe me, the truth is we're not honest.
C9 G C9
Not the people that we dream.
G D
We're not as close as we could be.
C9 G
Willing to grow, but rains are shallow,
C9 G C9
barren and wind-scattered seed.
G D
On stone and dry land, we will be.
C9 G
Waiting for the light arisen,
C9 G C9 G
to flood inside the prison,
D
and in that time
C9 G
Kind words alone will teach us
C9 G C9
no bitterness will reach us
G Em
reason will be guided in a-nother way
D
all in time...
C9 G
but the clock is another demon
C9 G G5/D G2/A G/B C9 G
that devours our time in E-den
D
in our paradise.
C9 G
Will our eyes see well beneath us,
C9 G C9 G
flowers all divine?
D
Is there still time?
C9 G
If we wake and discover
C9 G C9
in life a precious love,
G D Em
will that waking become more heavenly?
G
Ooohhhh....
