There're all kinds of roses[00:00:25]
But none are as handsome as the ones[00:00:28]
That you own hands have grown[00:00:33]
They bring as much hope[00:00:38]
Leave as much satisfaction[00:00:41]
As anything I've ever known[00:00:45]
But it ain't in their petals[00:01:17]
That I'm seeking her fortune[00:01:21]
It's in the weeds and the hedges and lawns[00:01:24]
Of the fortunate people[00:01:30]
Who can stand in their gardens[00:01:34]
And feel only time marching on[00:01:38]
With the world on a string[00:01:44]
To remind them of where they can go[00:01:47]
And what they oughta be[00:01:52]
Without a whole lot to say[00:01:55]
To the fella they pay[00:01:59]
To cut the grass growing underneath their feet[00:02:03]
A rose can't see it's own beauty[00:02:39]
Or feel what it's meant to symbolize[00:02:49]
It doesn't stop and smell anything on it's journey[00:03:05]
From the soil to the light[00:03:16]
Just wants the best for it'self and it's family[00:03:32]
And God help me so do I[00:03:42]
And so does everybody[00:03:53]
So I head out each morning[00:03:56]
With a smile and a wave[00:03:59]
For whomever looks up from their work[00:04:02]
'Cause who knows in a while[00:04:07]
It could be my own child[00:04:11]
With the world on a string[00:04:16]
To remind her of where they can go[00:04:19]
And what she oughta be[00:04:24]
Without a whole lot to say[00:04:27]
To the fella she pays[00:04:31]
To cut the grass growing underneath her feet[00:04:35]
May green grow the grass undernath our children's feet[00:04:44]
