Garden Rose

CAPO: 2 Intro: (2x) I have lived as a garden rose It is the only life I've known I've felt the touch of tending hands I get my rain from a watering can Now from the time I was a seed I have had everything I need And I grew strong and I grew tall Until the day I saw past the garden wall Now, tell me something, little wildflower Can't you make some room for me? 'Cause I will climb out of this garden And put my feet down in the weeds I always thought that my life was enough 'Til I saw your face so brilliant and so rough And you were shining right back up at the whole sky Handing out smiles, travellers passing by Now, tell me something, little wildflower Can't you make some room for me? 'Cause I will climb out of this garden And I will lay down in the weeds Bridge: And if an acorn becomes an oak tree Caterpillar makes a butterfly Oh, then tell me one good reason A rose should not become a weed by and by 'Cause don't the sunshine lay the brightest On the shoulders of the wild? And don't the breeze blow the sweetest On the face of its own child? And tell me something, little wildflower Have you made some room for me? 'Cause I will leave this wall forever A little wildflower, I will be A little wildflower, I will be Two little wildflowers, we will be
