Roses in the Concrete

Oh, I've been walking down this party street forever

Trying hard just to find some peace of mind

You know I've been hiding in the alleys trying not to

Catch a glimpse of your stone cold Medusa eyes

You know they say what's worn it can't be used again, no

But I'm holding on to second-hand Levi's

And if it all could feel like scratching worn out denim

I would kiss you freely, open up my eyes

We were young and we were free

Dancing to a different beat

Like roses in the concrete

Whoa, like roses in the concrete

Pour some water on the scenes of youth

Even though it may seem that you've been doing it in vain

Yeah, we have walked these barren lands

And still we rose

Like a rosebud in the fire through the pain

We were young and we were free

Dancing to a different beat

Like roses in the concrete

This kind of love was never seen

So we grow right in between

Like roses in the concrete

Whoa, like roses in the concrete

I hear the echoes of the angels

All the stars are on the ground

See people smiling through the windows

Winds of change is going down

Don't tell me that I cannot do it

I will stand and hold my ground

Through the winter and the summer

I will grow all year around

'Cause we are young and we were free

Dancing to a different beat

Like roses in the concrete

This kind of love was never seen

So we grow right in between

Like roses in the concrete

Whoa, like roses in the concrete

Whoa, like roses in the concrete

Whoa, like roses in the concrete

Oh, like roses in the concrete
