Inside of every heart, there is a seed

My mama watered mine, and raised me to be

A rose, a rose, or some greater thing

Mama, you're beautiful to me

Oh my daddy, I want you to know

Your little, baby girl became that rose

The bloom, the bloom blushed deeper red

With every drop of sacrifice you bled

[Chorus]

There's no growing without any pain

There's no flowers without the rain

We are bound together by blood that's flowing through us

And that's the way it is with love

I have a vision, a hope and a dream

I see a hill, across a healing stream

Where the rose arose, to set us free

And the cross became a family tree

[Chorus]

Circle of god comes around

And turns us into special things, somehow

And one day we'll hold little flowers of our own

And we'll sacrifice so that they can grow

[Chorus]
