Roses

Protest folk pop from the "Dogfight" album

If we can just pretend
That love will overcome everything
I know that in the end
It’s gonna be like that
I do believe in love and I do believe in change
I’ve seen that giving love can get you much in exchange
And if you come as a friend
You’re gonna get just that

Rise against those who sell lies, not roses
Come back strong with a protest song
Defy those who try and wipe our roses
They will be growing in every song

I’m not pushing for delusion
The world can be a terrible place
But my love, no evil institution
Will have powers comparable to your grace
If there was one good thing we could take from the book
It was the message of unconditional love
And though the wise men will always overlook it
You can take it and you can rise above

Rise against those who sell lies, not roses
Come back strong with a protest song
Defy those who try and wipe our roses
They will be growing in every song
