Concrete Rose

Opportunity Knocking

She walks with pride

Dressed in dreams and aspirations

Knocking on the doors of the ones who shunned her

Screaming let me in, I want to have a seat

She tells her brothers to hold strong, for she knows they already lost the game before they played it

She knows there life has been judged and their destiny’s has been taken before they claimed it

Today is redemption day my Kings fix your crown and take your place at the throne

She goes and knocks on another door

Screaming let me in, I want to have a seat

She tells her sisters; take your face off that beat

And Let your beauty from the earth shine

Take the petty out your heart and strengthened your mind

Today is redemption day my Queens fix your crown and take your place at the throne

Concrete Rose

No matter how far I go

I look around and realize I didn’t move an inch

Not one step

I’m just standing in the same spot waiting to bloom

Waiting to feel the sunlight on my face

How can I get away from these hugs of unhappiness, and lock lips with the kiss of life

I need to feel whole again

I need room to breathe again

I lost my thorns, letting my weaknesses hit me all at once with no defense

Crying tears of sorrow, wiping them with sleeves of hope

Will I ever make the move to break through?
