ROSES


My Mother's hands were twisted all of her life
She worked very hard to bring us up right.
My Father left so long ago
He's just another man that I'll never know.

	I was lost, I was hurt
	I was down, I was wounded.

My journey's ended in your garden of love
And the seeds of hope well, they're not gone
All my Mother's fears fly away
And I'm sheltered in your arms everyday.

	I was lost, I was hurt
	I was down, I was wounded.

		I was cold you brought me roses
		I was caged you brought me roses
		I was wounded and you healed me with roses.

	I was lost, I was hurt
	I was down, I was wounded.
	I was lost, I was hurt
	I was down, I was wounded.
