Roses Lyrics - Singles - David Olney

Lightning spoke to the wind, "The devil's in me today, my friend 

Do you see that old oak tree down yonder? 

Blow like hell and bring down thunder 

When your raging's through, I'll cut that oak in two" 

The wind began to moan, the old oak tree began to groan 

Thunder raged like hell's own daughter 

The air was filled with fire and water 

Laughing viciously, lightning struck that tree 

The old oak tree began to shudder 

But he held his ground like some old soldier 

His ancient pride was burnt and shaken 

But something deep inside did waken 

He raised his limbs just like Moses 

And blossomed roses 

He blossomed roses 

He blossomed roses 

The sky is clear, the air is clean 

The earth is brown, the forest green 

The ancient oak he still is standing 

With strength surpassing understanding 

Like dreams a noble mind composes, he blossoms roses 

He blossoms roses, roses, roses, roses
