If you see rose dover

That's her secret name

She would meet 3 others

To keep the forest safe

She says "my reality was soon called

Make believe, imagination's funeral

Killed by the teenage me"

You don't have to throw it away

Throw being a kid away

Just because you're growing up

Faster everyday

You don't have to throw it all away

You don't have to throw it all away

There's a way

I've been thinking lately it's not

A permanent situation

Just a phase that she's in

I've been thinking lately

I've been thinking lately

It's not permanent

A scattering of birds

Above her head

A scattering of birds

That whisper to her

"You don't have to throw it away

Throw being a kid away

Just because you're growing up

Faster everyday

You don't have to throw it all away

There's a way"

Happy was rose dover

Speaking badger, fawn, rabbit

(Behind the lumberjacks)

Pondering the dilemma

At the redwood conference

She cries, "my reality is now called

Make believe, imagination's funeral

Killed by the teenage me"

You don't have to throw it away

Throw being a kid away

Just because you're growing up

Faster everyday

You don't have to throw it all away

You don't have to throw it all away

And as you rise

A rose you will forever stay
