Imagine. Imagine that everyone knows About a brilliant golden rose And they know where it's from. The journey isn't as steep Everything you have, you can keep, To the Rose, everyone would come.
Suppose. Suppose this object was in fact real. People would get it despite how they feel Tricking the other with a rose of gold The rose's trek was one so lame, Every lover had given his love the same What value does the rose now hold?
Now see. See now why the rose is hidden? From fake passion, to keep it forbidden And to keep it pure as true love It doesn't matter if your life's a wreck The rose is nothing without the trek And this is why it is seldom heard of.
