Kathy Mattea - They Are The Roses

Born with heaven in their eyes
God sent, innocent, the promise of life
Born into this mess we've made
Holding the future and hope of better days
'Cause these is nothing more beautiful and wild
Than the dreams that grow in the heart of every child

They are the roses, they are the lights that shine
They are the waves that roll in on the ocean tide
They are angels, they are souls in flight
They are the hope that everything's gonna be alright,
They are the roses

Imagine a place filled with happy sounds of playgrounds
Where every child is safe
Where people join hands and pray that the children
Will all have a chance
In every family, every tribe and every town
We're the keepers of this garden, and we can't let them down

They are the roses, they are the lights that shine
They are the waves that roll in on the ocean tide
They are angels, they are souls in flight
They are the hope that everything's gonna be alright,
They are roses
(Everything's gonna be alright)
(Everything's gonna be alright)
(Everything's gonna be alright)

They are the roses, they are the lights that shine
They are the waves that roll in on the ocean tide
They are angels, they are souls in flight
They are the hope that everything's gonna be alright,
They are roses
(Everything's gonna be alright)
(Everything's gonna be alright)
(Everything's gonna be alright)
(Everything's gonna be alright)
They are angels
(Everything's gonna be alright)
(Everything's gonna be alright)
(Everything's gonna be alright)
(Everything's gonna be alright)
They are roses
(Everything's gonna be alright)
(Everything's gonna be alright)
(Everything's gonna be alright)
(Everything's gonna be alright)
(Everything's gonna be alright)
(Everything's gonna be alright)
(Everything's gonna be alright)
