|
A Rose is a Rose
|
(Words and Music by: Wayne Kirkpatrick)
|
|
You're at a stand still
|
You're at an impass
|
Your mountains of dreams
|
Seems harder to climb
|
By those who have made you
|
Feel like an outcast
|
Cause you dare to be different
|
So they're drawing a line
|
|
They say you're a fool
|
They feed you resistance
|
They tell you you'll never go very far
|
But they'll be the same ones
|
That stand in the distance
|
Alone in the shadow
|
Of your shining star
|
|
CHORUS
|
Just keep on the same road
|
And keep on your toes
|
And just keep your heart steady as she goes
|
And let them call you what they will
|
It don't matter
|
A rose by any name is still a rose
|
|
The kindness of strangers
|
It seems like a fable
|
But they've yet to see
|
What I see in you
|
But you can make it
|
If you are able
|
To believe in yourself
|
The way I do
|
|
(chorus)
|
|
Cause a deal is a deal
|
In the heart of the dream
|
And a spade is a spade
|
If you know what I mean
|
And a rose is a rose is a rose
|
|
To deal with the scoffers
|
Well, it's part of the bargain
|
They heckle from back rows
|
And they bark at the moon
|
Their flowers are fading
|
In time's bitter garden
|
But yours is only
|
Beginning to bloom
|
|
So keep on that same road
|
And keep on your toes
|
And just keep your heart steady as she goes
|
And let them call you what they will
|
Just remember
|
A rose by any name is still a rose
|
|
