God is in the roses,   The petals, and the thorns.    Storms out on the oceans   Souls who will be born   And every drop of rain that falls   Falls for those who mourn      God is in the roses, and the thorns.       The sun is on the cemetery   Leaves are on the stones   There never was a place on Earth   That felt so much like home      We're falling like the velvet petals,   We're bleeding and we're torn,   But God is in the roses, and the thorns.       I love you like a brother   A father and a son,   We may not last forever   But it never will be done   My whole world fits inside the moment   I saw you be reborn,   God is in the roses,    And that day was filled with roses   God is in the roses   And the thorns.
