Briar Bush

Oh, the briar bush knows everything

It knows life is just time on the wing

When the branches bow low

Under deep winter snow

Oh, the briar can still dream of spring

Yes, the briar bush knows everything

It knows roses bear thorns that can sting

And love sworn by the moon

Can be torment by noon

Oh, the briar bush knows everything

There's a time to love and a time to hate

A time to hasten and a time to wait

There's a time to laugh and a time to cry

There's a time to live and a time to die

Oh, the briar bush knows everything

There's a time and a season to sing

For the briar bush knows

That it reaps what it sows

And the briar will rise in the spring

Yes, the briar bush knows everything
