She was brought into this world
Out of a beautiful mistake
When her mom was just a girl
And her daddy didn’t stay
She was working at age 9
At the flower shop in town
Working not just to survive
Cause life was throwing her around
In the rose garden
Where the rain is falling
And the thorns are sharpened
Rose garden, yeah
Rose garden
She was young but not naïve
Always wise beyond her years
Hoping that no one would see
Every time she dried her tears
In the rose garden
Where the rain is falling
And the thorns are sharpened
Rose garden
Don’t let those petals fall
Don’t let them fall on you
Don’t let those petals fall
Don’t let them fall on you
Yeah, yeah, yeah
In the rose garden
Where the rain is falling
And the thorns are sharpened
In the rose garden, yeah
Rose garden
