This is a song written for a girl with Downs Syndrome.



The Rose

Heartache and sorrow
The world can be rough
We slave for tomorrow
Never enough
Not for my angel
She lives by the day
My rose in this jungle
You show me the way
There's so much pressure
The stakes are so high
But i've got a treasure
No money can buy
Magical fairy
Saving the day
My rose in this jungle
You show me the way
You hold a power
That nobody knows
So many flowers
Only one rose
Hearing your laughter
Seeing your smile
Touching my heart
You make it worthwile
My rose in this jungle
My beautiful child
