Rosa

I cry when I read good books
I sing out of tune when I feel good
I'd re-draw the world if I could
My throat shuts in the face of stress
Laying my head on your chest
Is my favorite way to rest
I love my brightly colored dress
I say more when I mean less

I love the city, I miss the farm
I've been loved and I 've been harmed
I've fallen into broken arms
I've lived life day by day
And when hardship came my way
I fought hard and I prevailed
Now the tumor's gone away
I've found my place and I want to stay

Everywhere I look, all I see are roses
Everywhere I look, all I see are roses

I feel your skin like wind on leaves
Our hands are tight like soil and seed
Keep your feet close so mine don't freeze
Every end is a brand-new start
I wake up early and I work hard
But I'm not naive about the reward
Death has such a tender face
I miss Laura every day

Everywhere I look, all I see are roses
Everywhere I look, all I see are roses

When the broken kid calls me mom
I hope I'll be strong and I'll be calm
We'll hold him in our broken arms
Take my hand, don't mind the thorns,
Let's wander through the storm
Then come home and keep it warm
Let's grow old unafraid
No need for light in this perfect shade

Everywhere I look, all I see are roses
Everywhere I look, all I see are roses
