Still a Rose

A frog becomes a prince Upon a kiss from his true love Constellations from below Look different from above A sullen heart one tick away From unspeakable delight And it’s alright, yeah it’s alright A day it ends exactly Once a new day has begun An axis in a steady state of Spinning towards the sun And what’s the point in dreaming If we only dream at night But it’s alright, baby it’s alright You can tell yourself it’s not your time There’s no one waiting on the line But you feel it from your head down to your toes You can call it what you want but A rose is still a rose You can sing a hallelujah You can wish upon a star You can travel round the world And stay exactly who you are You can join a new religion Paint your bedroom black and white And it’s alright, yeah it’s alright A name is just a notion Not a testament of will Identity’s an ocean Endless, everchanging, still Birds would just be scavengers Were it not the gift of flight And it’s alright, baby it’s alright You can tell yourself it’s not your time There’s no one waiting on the line But you feel it from your head down to your toes You can call it something different but A rose is still a rose A name is just a tag On what the factory installed If it’s true it stays with you No matter what it’s called And the frog might be a prince now But she was looking for a knight And it’s alright, baby it’s alright You can tell yourself it’s not your time There’s no one waiting on the line But you feel it in your elbows, knees and toes You can call it what’d you like but A rose is still a rose Yeah you can call it anything but A rose is still a rose
