The Tireless American Rose
The tireless American rose
Graced our fallen
Pricked our foes
A graveside decoration
Saluted by soldiers
A comfort to widows
The perfume of angels
To any discerning nose
A queen's bouquet
A honeymoon kiss
Where petal strewn walkways
Grace romantic getaways
Glistening with a bride's tears
Or a lucky graduate's surprise
Maybe a new mother's gift
And those wreaths explode with beauty
When loved ones die
The tireless American rose
Seen at parades
There after war
Awarding every hero
There at the gala
A holiday corsage
To win every battle
Every precious heart
With or without thorns
Through raging pain
On altars and bedsides
In hospitals where loved ones lay
In the ICU or ER
Where dying breaths remember
This rose will not forget
Her blooms express their beauty
When loved ones cry
Rising through the soil of our lives
Pushing through the earth as it climbs
Beauty never had a better face
Than the tireless rose and her Grace
Beauty never had a better face
Than the tireless rose and her Grace
Graced our fallen
Pricked our foes
A graveside decoration
Saluted by soldiers
A comfort to widows
The perfume of angels
To any discerning nose
A queen's bouquet
A honeymoon kiss
Where petal strewn walkways
Grace romantic getaways
Glistening with a bride's tears
Or a lucky graduate's surprise
Maybe a new mother's gift
And those wreaths explode with beauty
When loved ones die
The tireless American rose
Seen at parades
There after war
Awarding every hero
There at the gala
A holiday corsage
To win every battle
Every precious heart
With or without thorns
Through raging pain
On altars and bedsides
In hospitals where loved ones lay
In the ICU or ER
Where dying breaths remember
This rose will not forget
Her blooms express their beauty
When loved ones cry
Rising through the soil of our lives
Pushing through the earth as it climbs
Beauty never had a better face
Than the tireless rose and her Grace
Beauty never had a better face
Than the tireless rose and her Grace
