John Pops Dennie - Rose Garden

We got holes in our shoes from these walkin' blues
Walkin' these streets just to get through to you
We ain't fallin' in line with your symptoms and signs
Yeah we're the sons of these days and the daughters of time
Makin' our way livin' out this rhyme and we ain't gonna say
What's done is done
Faded roses for a child of love and hope
Never fear, draw them near, they will grow
We can't feed out families on a seven-dollar bill
Work eighty hour weeks in conditions that kill
And we ain't gonna live, on scraps any more
We got nowhere to run when we're sick and tired
When you're pointin' those guns we're only inspired
And we ain't backin' down, in fear any more
Faded roses for a child of love and hope
Never fear, draw them near, they will grow
I won't turn around as I stroll these grounds
I will keep the path to my higher ground
Away from all of your snarling hounds
We won't be silent while you build your wall
On top of broken hearts who refuse to crawl
We're gonna bring you around with words of love
Yeah, the broken bell is ringing in a million ears
Soundin' out the hope of a million tears
Yeah, hand-in-hand we're gonna do what we can
Faded roses for a child of love and hope
Never fear, draw them near, they will grow
