You're the rose, you're the rose
You're the rose that I will dream of
You're the rose that takes me home
You're the rose, you're the rose
You're the calm before the thunder
You're the light before the storm
The mirror's pictures of the world outside
The blackened dust of a land on fire
The mother's empty breast denied
As she turns to take them home
A trail to nowhere is her guiding light
Steps to hunger as she moves tonight
Dawn will break on a field of sighs
As she loses her grip on love
Silent cry is a fading dream
Humble hope on a global scheme
Where life is lost as life is seen
From the comfort of our world
