lyrics

The fearless American rose
Graced our fallen
Pricked our foes
A graveside decoration
Saluted by soldiers
A comfort to widows
The perfume of angels
to any discerning nose

A queen’s bouquet
A honeymoon kiss,
Where petal strewn walkways
grace romantic getaway
Glistening with a bride’s tears
Or a lucky graduate’s surprise
maybe a new mother’s gift
and those wreaths explode with beauty
when loved ones die.

The fearless American rose
Seen at parades,
There after war.
Awarding every hero
There at the gala
A holiday corsage
To win every battle
And every precious heart

With, or without thorns,
Through raging pain
On altars and bedsides
In hospitals where loved ones lay
In the ICU or ER,
Where dying breaths remember
This rose will not forget
Her blooms express their beauty
When loved ones cry

Rising through the soil of our lives
Pushing through the earth as it climbs
Beauty never had a better face
Than the fearless rose and her grace
Beauty never had a better face
Than the fearess rose and her grace.

Though for truly stellar guitar work I turn to Mark Abbruzzese and Eric Endo. ... more
