(Ahhhh)
Em C G C G C D G
C G
We are the roses in the garden,
C G
beauty with thorns among our leaves.
C G D
To pick a rose, you ask your hands to bleed
C G
but Bhat is the reason for having roses
C G
when your blood is shed carelessly?
C G D Em
It must be for something more than vanity.
Em C G C G C D
Em C G
Believe me, the truth is we're not honest.
C G
Not the people that we dream.
C G D
We're not as close as we could be.
C G
Willing to grow, but rains are shallow,
C G
barren and wind-scattered seed.
C G D
On stone and dry land, we will be.
C G
Waiting for the light arisen,
C G C G
to flood inside the prison,
D
and in that time
C G
Kind words alone will teach us
C G C G
no bitterness will reach us
C G Em
reason will be guided in another way
Em C G C G C D (x2)
D
all in time...
C G
but the clock is another demon
C G C G
that devours our time in Eden
D
in our paradise
C G
Will our eyes see well beneath us,
C G C G D
flowers all divine?
D
Is there still time?
C G
If we wake and discover
C G C G
in life a precious love,
C G Em
will that waking become more heavenly?
G
