One single rose standing so much alone
One single rose deep in the valley
keeping the darkness deep within
so cold and afraid wondering why everyone went away.
One single rose so lonely in the woods
living deep in life's sorrow
wondering when there will be a new tomorrow.
One single rose waiting in the deep valley
standing still until shadows fade
falling leaves keep the warmth in
taking time to cover the soft pedals
spinning in time and falling deep within
the pain never seems to end.
One single rose stood still and heard a voice
One single rose made its choice
One single rose listened to the voice within
Now the light shines deep inside
taking the rose to the side
now the rose blooms so bright
deep in the valleys night.
