Title:
“Thorns and Petals”
Full song lyrics:
(Verse 1)
[C] Thorns and petals, [G] pain and love,
[Am] Lost in a dance, [E] under the stars above.
[Dm] We’re just like a rose, [G] wild and free,
[C] With a beauty that’s ours, [E] for the world to see.
(Chorus)
[F] We are the lopsided rose, [C] growing wild and free,
[G] Living life on our terms, [Am] being all we can be.
[F] With thorns and petals, [C] we stand tall,
[G] Through the highs and lows, [E] we embrace it all.
(Verse 2)
[C] We have our thorns, [G] that much is true,
[Am] But they’re a part of us, [E] a part of our view.
[Dm] We’re not perfect, [G] but that’s okay,
[C] For it’s our imperfections, [E] that light our way.
(Chorus)
[F] We are the lopsided rose, [C] growing wild and free,
[G] Unafraid of the storm, [Am] as strong as we can be.
[F] With thorns and petals, [C] we touch the sky,
[G] Singing our song, [E] with our heads held high.
