A1 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I see an angel in disguise
Sent from god above
For me to love
To hold and idolize
And as I hold your body near
I'll see this month through to a year
Til life is gone
I'll keep your loving near
And now I've finally found my way
To lead me down this lonely road
All I have to do
Is follow you
To lighten off my load
You treat me like a rose
You give me room to grow
You shone the light of love on me
And gave me air so I can breathe
You open doors that close
In a world where anything goes
You give me strength so I stand tall
Within this bed of earth
Just like a rose
And when I feel like hope is gone
You give me strength to carry on
Each time I look at you
There's something new
To keep our loving strong
I hear you whisper in my ear
All of the words I long to hear
Of how you'll always be
Here next to me
To wipe away my tears
And now I've finally found my way
To lead me down this lonely road
All I have to do
Is follow you
To lighten off my load
You treat me like a rose
You give me room to grow
You shone the light of love on me
And gave me air so I can breathe
You opened doors I closed
In a world where anything goes
You give me strength so I stand tall
Within this bed of earth
Just like a rose
And though the seasons change
Our love remains the same
You face the thunder
When the sunshine turns to rain
Just like a rose
You treat me like a rose
You give me room to grow
You shone the light of love on me
And gave me air so I can breathe
You opened doors I closed
In a world where anything goes
You give me strength so I stand tall
Within this bed of earth
Just like a rose
You give me strength so I stand tall
Within this bed of earth
Just like a rose
The lyrics of A1’s “Like a Rose” are about being deeply in love with someone, feeling grateful for them, and realizing that with their help, life can be navigated more easily. The singer calls their lover an “angel in disguise,” implying that the person they are with is both a gift and unexpected. The lyrics further suggest that through the lover’s guidance, the singer has finally “found [their] way / To lead [them] down this lonely road.” This sentiment is then followed by a declaration of the strength the lover imbues in the singer, giving them the “strength to carry on” when hope is lost, and wiping away tears when they are shed.
Throughout the song, the singer links their lover to a “rose” metaphorically. They describe how they give them “room to grow,” “shone the light of love,” and “gave [them] air so [they] can breathe” - which are all things that are necessary for a rose to bloom. The singer believes that their lover’s love for them helps them “stand tall / Within this bed of earth / Just like a rose.” In the chorus, the singer repeats the claim that their lover “treat[s] me like a rose,” affirming that they are felt nourished and cared for in their relationship.

When I gaze into your eyes, I see you as an angel in disguise
Sent from god above
You were sent to me from God above
For me to love
God sent you to me so that I can love you

To keep you close and cherish you like a precious idol

And then forever on
And after that year, we'll be together forever

In this unpredictable world we live in
You give me strength so I stand tall
You give me the strength to be confident and stand tall
Within this bed of earth
Amidst this land of ours
Just like a rose
Just like a rose
And when I feel like hope is gone
In times of despair
You give me strength to carry on
You give me the motivation to keep moving forward
Each time I look at you
Whenever I see you
There's something new
I discover something new
To keep our loving strong
To strengthen our love
I hear you whisper in my ear
I hear you speak softly to me
All of the words I long to hear
All the things I want to hear from you
Of how you'll always be
Of how you'll always stay by my side
Here next to me
Right here with me
To wipe away my tears
To comfort me when I'm sad
And though the seasons change
As time passes by
Our love remains the same
Our love remains strong and unchanging
You face the thunder
You confront life's difficulties head-on
When the sunshine turns to rain
In times of trouble and hardship
You opened doors I closed
You helped me overcome obstacles that I thought were insurmountable
You give me strength so I stand tall
You empower me to be strong and resilient
Within this bed of earth
Amidst this world we live in
Just like a rose
Just like a rose
