There was a rose
She bloomed so bright in golden light
She saw an orchid so tall and fair
Her heart was struck, caught in a snare
Her heart was struck, caught in a snare
The rose fell in love, fell in love with the orchid
The rose yes the rose, fell in love with the orchid
But she wanted her to change
To be more like her, a perfect fit
But the orchid remained the same
♪
The rose tried to be like the orchid
She wanted to be noticed
But the orchid was unimpressed
And she liked the rose as she was
And she liked the rose as she was
The rose fell in love, fell in love with the orchid
The rose yes the rose, fell in love with the orchid
But she wanted her to change
To be more like her, a perfect fit
But the orchid remained the same
♪
The rose realized she was wrong
She couldn't ask the orchid to belong
She loved her for who she was
Different yet still part of the cause
Different yet still part of the cause
The rose fell in love, fell in love with the orchid
The rose yes the rose, fell in love with the orchid
But she wanted her to change
To be more like her, a perfect fit
But the orchid remained the same
♪
The rose and the orchid lived side by side
In harmony and in love's pride
Different but perfect in their own way
A love story that will never sway
