Don't let waters of caution remove you

Don't let the fire of saints compel you

Don't let the lack of their spirit blind your life

Cause soon it's all overyou're gonna come through alive



Well I've been all over the world five times or more

And I've seen the future burn blue before my eyes

And all through the dust and the green magnesium fire

Don't let the violence blind youyou're gonna come through alive



And the roses that are offing

They are real as evening wind

They are washed by love and suffering

Cause my love has colored them

Colored them

Oooooh oooohh-nothing but roses



Don't dam the river that's running through you

Stop saving up for time that may never become

I've seen the future come true in twenty days

But don't let is scare youstop thinking about yesterday



I've had my share of blue revelations

And I know that time is a region to be passed

So all through the dust and green magnesium fire

I can rest easy nowand watch the carnival rolling by



Cause a rose that will be growing

In the place where I have hidden

It is washed by love and suffering

That my love has colored in



Look where the roses grow

Look where the roses grow

Look where the rooooooooses

Iiiiiieeeeeeiiiiiiaaaaahhhh

Look where the roses grow

Look where the roses grow

Look where the rooooooooses

Iiiiiieeeeeeiiiiiiaaaaahhhh

Look where the roses grow

Look where the roses grow

Look where the rooooooooses

Iiiiiieeeeeeiiiiiiaaaaahhhh

Look where the roses grow

Look where the roses grow

Look where the rooooooooses

Iiiiiieeeeeeiiiiiiaaaaahhhh
