God is in the roses 
The petals and the thorns 
Storms out on the oceans 
The souls who will be born 
And every drop of rain that falls 
Falls for those who mourn 
God is in the roses and the thorns 

The sun is on the cemetery 
Leaves are on the stones 
There never was a place on earth 
That felt so much like home 
We're falling like the velvet petals 
We're bleeding and we're torn 
But God is in the roses and the thorns 

I love you like a brother 
A father and a son 
It may not last forever and ever 
But it never will be done 
My whole world fits inside the moment 
I saw you be reborn 
God is in the roses 
And that day was filled with roses 
God is in the roses and the thorns
