The Red Red Rose

A rose is an interesting flower 

Red roses are thought to show love 

Yet, they can also be a symbol of sacrifice 

They say a rose will strive in rain

But I say it will survive anywhere 

With a little love and caring 

It will bloom with an unknown elegance 

That red red rose is coming in the spring 

It strives in the rain and becomes a beauty 

It becomes the light in the drifting snow

And the only color in a storm of silver clouds 

So what I say to you now 

Is be that red red rose, 

Not the one leaving with a wilting petal 

And not the one with a dying reflection in the puddle 

But be that rose that is the only hope 

Be the color in the darkness 

Because people are waiting for spring to come

People are waiting for color to come 

Be that red red rose  

The one that buds before the others 

To sacrifice what it knows and to be the example
