Only a Child of Roses

Who laughs like love
And cries like pain
In teardrops of
The falling rain

For all my faults
Who takes the blame
Forgiving all
While he is slain

Who sings a precious melody
Sits beside and comforts me

Oh, only a child
Only a child of roses

Who gives away
His precious things
To stubborn fools
And wicked kings

Who lifts the veil
So I might see
The greatest gift
Inside of me

Who takes me by the weary hand
Shows me through the desperate land
And leads me home

Oh, only a child
Only a child of roses

Who rows the boat
And needs no oar
Through the wind and cold
And greets the shore

Who fights with hope
And wins the war
Who gives the flower
And keeps its thorn

When dusk to dusk meets dawn to dawn
When the road is lost and the feet have gone
Who seats the throne

Oh, only a child
Only a child
Oh, only a child
Only a child of roses
