Roses/Lotus/Violet/Iris

I have seen your body

And I have seen your beauty

They are separate things

Pretty, pretty, pretty things

But I am in a garden

Tending to my own

So what do I care

And what do you care if I grow?

If I grow

Roses, roses, roses, roses, roses

(Roses, roses, roses, roses, roses)

Show no concern for colors of a violet

Lotus, lotus, lotus, lotus, lotus

(Lotus, lotus, lotus, lotus, lotus)

Hopes it won't spark envy in your irises

I think of all the wilted women

Who crane their necks to reach a window

Ripping all their petals off just cause

"He loves me now, he loves me not"

I myself was a wilted woman

Drowsy in a dark room

Forgot my roots

Now watch me bloom

Roses, roses, roses, roses, roses

(Roses, roses, roses, roses, roses)

Show no concern for colors of a violet

Lotus, lotus, lotus, lotus, lotus

(Lotus, lotus, lotus, lotus, lotus)

Hopes it won't spark envy in your irises (irises)

And I will not compare other beauty to mine

And I will not become a thorn in my own side

And I will not return to where I once was

Well I can break through the earth, come up soft and wild

Roses, roses, roses, roses, roses

(Roses, roses, roses, roses, roses)

Show no concern for colors of a violet

Lotus, lotus, lotus, lotus, lotus

(Lotus, lotus, lotus, lotus, lotus)

Hopes it won't spark envy in your irises

(Roses, roses, roses, roses)

(Roses, roses, roses, roses)

(Roses, roses, roses, roses)

(Roses, roses, roses, roses)
