White Rose

Out of the sea onto the shore there came a story

About a tear and a smile made of glory

Moved a heart reached the sun and somehow thereby

You came far on your run through the gardens

Dreadful hours in the storm and the night refused to glow

Your hope was never fading away though they didn't let you go

A final walk with your head up high and a sun that said goodbye

A rose against an army of pain and they didn't see you cry

Hard to kneel on the ground but he is quite close

He can even be found in your white rose

Answers to questions that most only dared to whisper

You spoke out - tears are proud - courages sister

Dreadful hours in the storm and the night refused to glow

Your hope was never fading away though they didn't let you go

A final walk with your head up high and a sun that said goodbye

A rose against an army of pain and they didn't see you cry

But soon you will rise - oh from the dark

As you faced their violence you defeated

No more drifting away - hold on to the spark!

You can grow in silence when you feel it

When you feel it

Once more turn around - around

Before they lay you down!

And soon you will rise with wings of freedom in peace

No more drifting away - upright and straight

You will bloom in absence

Somehow you will stay

Somehow you will stay

The way she suffered that is the tear

The smile will forever be her idea

Something survived - something she chose

Don't say goodbye to that soft white rose!
