Black flower

A voice says cry - what shall I cry?
To the children who've fallen from grace
All this life - will fade away
Let the black flower grow where it may
(For) in Sharon grows - A rose who knows
How to flourish the flower in the rain
And blessings fall - as blossoms fade
Let the black flower grow where it may

Chorus
The sun is gonna shine tomorrow
The good and the bad both feel the rain
Faith, hope and love outlive our sorrow
Let the black flower grow where it may

In the garden - of our lives
One million flowers bloom joy
That God paints - The Lily of the Valley reigns
Let the black flower grow where it may

Chorus

In Zion - the black flower never blooms
Its darkly faint perfume - has finally been consumed
In Zion - Go upon the mountain high
And see the risen Christ - The rose that will not die

Chorus
