White Rose

Out of the sea onto the shore there came a story
 About a tear and a smile made of glory
 Moved a heart reached the sun and somehow thereby
 You came far on [bad word] through the gardens

 Dreadful hours in the storm and the night refused to glow
 Your hope was never fading away though they didn't let you go
 final walk with your head up high and a sun that said goodbye
 rose against an army of pain and they didn't see you cry

 Hard to kneel on the ground but he is quite close
 He can even be found in your white rose
 Answers to questions that most only dared to whisper
 You spoke out - Tears are proud - Courages sister

 Dreadful hours in the storm and the night refused to glow
 Your hope was never fading away though they didn't let you go
 final walk with your head up high and a sun that said goodbye
 rose against an army of pain and they didn't see you cry

 But soon you will rise - Oh from the dark
 As you faced their violence you defeated
 No more drifting away - Hold on to the spark!
 You can grow in silence when you feel it

 When you feel it
 Once more turn around - Around
 Before they lay you down!

 And soon you will rise with wings of freedom in peace
 No more drifting away - Upright and straight
 You will bloom in absence
 Somehow you will stay
 Somehow you will stay

 The way she suffered that is the tear
 The smile will forever be her idea
 Something survived - Something she chose
 Don't say goodbye to that soft white rose!
