Текст песни Rose Petals (Dee Wilson) с переводом

The blood of my brother

Was spilled on the street

He was the rose that grew out of the concrete

The same ground where his body lay

Like rose petals on a stony grave

Why do we fear each other?

From the lives of yesterday

I’ll never know

But look at all these roses

With petals on the ground

They call this one Michael Brown

I’m asking you to look at all these roses

With petals on the ground

They call this one Trayvon Martin

I’m asking you to look at all these roses

With petals on the ground

They call this one Tyshawn Lee

I’m asking you to look at all these roses

With petals on the ground

It’s far too many for me

The tears of a mother

Are spilt at his grave

She knows the cost, the whole world could not repay

And when she should have felt our sympathy

All we told her, is that her baby was guilty

And do we even have compassion?

Do we even wanna see?

I’ll never know

But look at all these roses

With petals on the ground

They call this one Freddie Gray

I’m asking you to look at all these roses

With petals on the ground

They call this one Eric Garner

I’m asking you to look at all these roses

With petals on the ground

They call this one Sandra Bland

I’m asking you to look at all these roses

With petals on the ground

Every woman, every man

Ooh, sometimes I wonder

If you were more than a number

Would we ever see how beautiful

And special

And precious you were?

Somebody told me

That if only, if only

You

You would still be alive

But I’m asking you to look at all these roses

With petals on the ground

Like the ones from Sandy Hook

I’m asking you to look at all these roses

With petals on the ground

His name ain’t changed the story

And our history books

So while we can let’s look at all these roses

Look at all these roses

Look at all these roses

With petals on the ground

I’m asking you to look at all these roses

Look at all these roses

Look at all these roses

With petals on the ground

I’m asking you to look at all these roses

Look at all these roses

And say a prayer for all these roses

Shout and march for all the roses

With petals on the ground

I’m asking you to look at all these roses

Look at all these roses

Look at all these roses

With petals on the ground

The blood of my brother

Was spilt on the street

He was the rose that grew out of the concrete
