A Rose Among Thorns
Giorgia Fumanti Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

From a simple prayer
that begun as a whisper in a quite place.
A dream can inspire the world.
A voice echo far away.

The wind can take our thoughts
From the wasteland where we walk
Into a pure land
As heroes proudly stand
Like a rose among thorns

From a simple act
That began in the corner of an unlit place.
A vision embraces the world
A million candles blaze
We rise above ourselves
With a dignity somehow
Reach that Promised Land

As heroes proudly stand
Like a rose that grows
In spite of it all
A simple rose among thorns
(ahh)
(ooohooo)
From a simple prayer
that begun as a whisper in a quite place.
A dream can inspire the world.
A voice echo far away.
The wind can take our thoughts
From the wasteland where we walk
Into a pure land
As heroes proudly stand
Like a rose that grows.




Inspire it all.
A Simple rose among thorns.
