Forever like the rose, I suppose that's the way to be
Fresh and ever growing, always showing lots of beauty to the world
I know it's not an easy task, all I ask is that you try

Try for me, be like the flower within it's hour of final glory
Open up and let the sunshine touch your heart
And show the world what you can be
If you are free, free to grow, free to grow
Forever like the rose

The rose is worn above the heart
The symbol of it's love is showing

The centerpiece of life will always be unfolding it's cardinal petals
For the dew of children's tears to grow a new rose
Forever like the rose, oh, forever like the rose

Forever like the rose, I suppose that's the way to be
Strong and ever giving, always living with a purpose and a goal
To blossom day to day, then someday to fade away
Forever like the rose

Forever like the rose, I suppose that's the way to be
Fresh and ever growing, always showing lots of beauty to the world
I know it's not an easy task, all I ask is that you try
