One single rose standing so much alone

One single rose deep in the valley

keeping the darkness deep within

so cold and afraid wondering why everyone went away.



One single rose so lonely in the woods

living deep in life's sorrow

wondering when there will be a new tomorrow.



One single rose waiting in the deep valley

standing still until shadows fade

falling leaves keep the warmth in

taking time to cover the soft pedals

spinning in time and falling deep within

the pain never seems to end.



One single rose stood still and heard a voice

One single rose made its choice

One single rose listened to the voice within

Now the light shines deep inside

taking the rose to the side

now the rose blooms so bright

deep in the valleys night.
