Kalina Scollon - The Rose Lyrics

The Rose grows thorns
To protect itself from harm
To prevent the passersby
From plucking it, cause it's
Pleasing to their eyes
When it grows cold
The rose grows all alone
Becoming crystallized
The ice saving it from time
I tried and tried
But I never realized
What I had in time
To save it
Not push it from my mind
I'll never know
What it's like to hold gold
In my arms
Since the day
You said goodbye
Oh, oh woe
Oh, oh woe
Oh, oh woe
A blackened heart
A rose in the dark
Growing deep and old
It's story remaining untold
I'll see the light
As I dance and I cry
Out your name
In the night
My words like a kite
In the sky
Oh, oh woe
Oh, oh woe
Oh, oh woe
A rose grows thorns
To protect itself from harm
To prevent the passersby
From plucking it, cause it's
Pleasing to their eyes
When it grows cold
The Rose grows on it's own
It's beauty shining out from within
Oh, oh woe
Oh, oh woe
Oh, oh woe
Oh, oh woe
Oh, oh woe
Oh, oh woe
