God is in the roses The petals and the thorns Storms out on the oceans The souls who will be born And every drop of rain that falls Falls for those who mourn God is in the roses and the thorns The sun is on the cemetery Leaves are on the stones There never was a place on earth That felt so much like home We're falling like the velvet petals We're bleeding and we're torn But God is in the roses and the thorns I love you like a brother A father and a son It may not last forever and ever But it never will be done My whole world fits inside the moment I saw you be reborn God is in the roses And that day was filled with roses God is in the roses and the thorns
