Does the rose know they shudder

Do the flowers of the fields live in wonder

Why do they shudder

Why do they stare

There’s a reason we have thorns

There’s a reason for all our forms

Watch our flower bloom

Feel our soul fill the room

Does the rose know they shudder

Do the flowers of the fields live in wonder

Why do they shudder

Why do they stare

Why, why do they shudder and why, why do they stare!!

And why, oh why, should I even care

Come with me or stay right there

It’s up to you

Does the rose know they shudder

Do the flowers of the fields live in wonder

Why do they shudder

Why do they stare

Does the rose know

Does the rose care

Does the rose bloom
