Garden Rose Lyrics

CAPO: 2nd Fret
INTRO: G D C G (2x)
I have lived as a garden rose
It is the only life I've known
I've felt the touch of tending hands
I get my rain from a watering can
Now from the time I was a seed
I have had everything I need
And I grew strong and I grew tall
Until the day I saw past the garden wall
CHORUS:
Now, tell me something, little wildflower
Can't you make some room for me?
'Cause I will climb out of this garden
And put my feet down in the weeds
I always thought that my life was enough
'Til I saw your face so brilliant and so rough
And you were shining right back up at the whole sky
Handing out smiles, travellers passing by
CHORUS:
Now, tell me something, little wildflower
Can't you make some room for me?
'Cause I will climb out of this garden
And I will lay down in the weeds
BRIDGE:
And if an acorn becomes an oak tree
Caterpillar makes a butterfly
Oh, then tell me one good reason
A rose should not become a weed by and by
'Cause don't the sunshine lay the brightest
On the shoulders of the wild?
And don't the breeze blow the sweetest
On the face of its own child?
CHORUS:
And tell me something, little wildflower
Have you made some room for me?
'Cause I will leave this wall forever
A little wildflower, I will be
A little wildflower, I will be
Two little wildflowers, we will be
