From Thorns To Roses

We all long, long for the smell of roses But we all fall, fall in the wrath of thorns Chasing an escape from this hell we live in Looking for something to put our hope in We look for the Truth But we settle for lies We try to escape the pain But we chase the disguise You fall for the drugs To escape this life Drinkin the booze To run from the strife The stars, the stars in the sky Are all fallin, fallin to die No matter how far we go Life is leading us to such a low God has his arms wide open Waiting to be one we put our hope in But you have to open your eyes and see See the lives we’re called to lead I’m running to his arms And avoiding life’s harms Longing to fly to heaven on a dove Because I’m falling into God’s love We all long, long for the smell of roses But we all fall, fall in the wrath of thorns Chasing an escape from this hell we live in Looking for something to put our hope in
