Out of the sea onto the shore there came a story About a tear and a smile made of glory Moved a heart reached the sun and somehow thereby You came far on your run through the gardens
Dreadful hours in the storm and the night refused to glow Your hope was never fading away though they didn't let you go A final walk with your head up high and a sun that said goodbye A rose against an army of pain and they didn't see you cry
Hard to kneel on the ground but he is quite close He can even be found in your white rose Answers to questions that most only dared to whisper You spoke out - Tears are proud - Courages sister
Dreadful hours in the storm and the night refused to glow Your hope was never fading away though they didn't let you go A final walk with your head up high and a sun that said goodbye A rose against an army of pain and they didn't see you cry
But soon you will rise - Oh from the dark As you faced their violence you defeated No more drifting away - Hold on to the spark! You can grow in silence when you feel it
When you feel it Once more turn around - Around Before they lay you down!
And soon you will rise with wings of freedom in peace No more drifting away - Upright and straight You will bloom in absence Somehow you will stay Somehow you will stay
The way she suffered that is the tear The smile will forever be her idea Something survived - Something she chose Don't say goodbye to that soft white rose!
