Chorus 1:
We are so few things
And my friend the rose told me so this morning
Verse 1:
I was born at dawn
Baptised in dew
I blossomed
Happy and in love
In the rays of the sun
I closed myself at night
I awoke old
Yet I was beautiful
the most beautiful
Of all the flowers in your garden
Chorus 1
Verse 2
We are so few things
And my friend the rose told me so this morning
See, the God who made me
Made my head bowed down
And I feel I'm falling
And I feel I'm falling
My heart is almost bare
I have the foot in the grave
Already I am not
You admired me only yesterday
And I shall be dust
Forever, tomorrow
We are so few things
And my friend the rose
Died this morning
The moon this night
Kept vigil over my friend
And I saw in a dream
Her soul, dancing
Dazzling and naked,
Above the heavens,
Smiling at me.
Believe who can believe
I need Hope
Or else I am nothing
