She was brought into this world Out of a beautiful mistake When her mom was just a girl And her daddy didn't stay She was working at age 9 At the flower shop in town Working not just to survive Cause life was throwing her around
In the rose garden Where the rain is falling And the thorns are sharpened Rose garden, yeah Rose garden
She was young but not naïve Always wise beyond her years Hoping that no one would see Every time she dried her tears
In the rose garden Where the rain is falling And the thorns are sharpened Rose garden
Don't let those petals fall Don't let them fall on you Don't let those petals fall Don't let them fall on you Yeah, yeah, yeah
In the rose garden Where the rain is falling And the thorns are sharpened In the rose garden, yeah Rose
