Roses Songtext
von David Olney

Lightning spoke to the wind
"The devil′s in me today, my friend
Do you see that old oak tree down yonder?
Blow like hell and bring down thunder
And when your raging's through
I′ll cut that oak in two"

The wind began to moan
The old oak tree began to groan
Thunder raged like hell's own daughter
The air was filled with fire and water
And laughing viciously
Lightning struck that tree


The old oak tree began to shudder
But he held his ground like some old soldier
His ancient pride was burned and shaken
But something deep inside did wake him

He raised his limbs just like Moses
And blossomed roses
He blossomed roses
He blossomed roses

The sky is clear, the air is clean
The earth is brown, the forest green
The ancient oak, he still is standing
With strength that passes understanding
Like dreams a noble mind composes

He blossoms roses
He blossoms roses

He blossoms roses, roses, roses, roses
