Lyrics
When the rose
Pushes up
She wants out
Seedling dream
One day
She’ll be a flower
When the rose
Pushes up
She wants out
She believes
One day
She’ll be a flower
Faith Unseen
Inward turning
Her destiny
To reach
Will she be
Heroine
Or protagonist
Of her story
No one knows
But she’ll grow
And she’ll grow
When the rose
Pushes up
She feels power
She’s supposed
To blossom into a flower
Through the dirt
She must climb
And leave her roots behind
She must fight
Just to prove
What she’s worth
Rising up
Against the weight of the earth.
Damn the stones
Damn the obstacle course
Damn the thorns
She knows
This is her hour
All alone
She has labored and toiled
To transform
Into a pretty red flower
When the rose pushes up
Be wants out
Suddenly
Budding,
Splits the ground
To the top
Oh
She’ll rise
Leave the surface behind
She’ll ascend
In full bloom
She will pose
Having become the master
The rose.
