Roses bloomed just below her eyes
The battle with the wind raged on
And as the Earth turned a tired gaze
It was left speechless by the energy
Contained in this slight figure

In her mind, she lives atop a great cliff
Threatening clouds of maroon on the horizon
And she gathers herself up
And she gathers herself up
To stand amidst it all

The roses flashing crimson
Signal to the world a soul who
Will not yield to adversity

But great rains fall and a massive wave
Crashes upon her
Her feet are swept out from underneath
And water closes in

The Earth holds its breath
Unbelieving, unwilling to accept what it has witnessed
Yet she surfaces atop a mountain
And she gathers herself up
And she gathers herself up
And she gathers herself up
To smile.
