LYRICS

Listen

Have you heard about the rose that grows
Never really knowing what it knows?
Standing in the heat
Fighting through the concrete
(And the petals keep dropping.)

Oh its thorns are sharp
Like a razor’s edge
But they can’t stop the petals
because they’re too far out on the ledge

Have you heard about the rose that grows
Never really knowing that it knows
Standing in the heat
Fighting through the concrete
(And the petals keep dropping.)

You’ve got to grow strong
You’ve got to stay strong
(And the petals keep dropping.)
