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 east nine   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)   The 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    Rose garden   (yeah)         Rose
