Rosebuds

Ireland brought out the poetry

Ireland brought out the pain

We all have a Mad Ireland

Who brought out the same

Gather ye rosebuds, while ye may

Yet most of our rosebuds just blow away

There's honour in fighting for something

But there's wisdom in letting go

and there's valour in hiding your feelings

But there's strength in letting them show

Sometimes we just don't know which road to turn

Belief comes from winning but when you lose you learn

That good times raise you up and bad times bring you to earth

And your nature comes from love but your character comes from hurt

There's honour in fighting for something

But there's wisdom in letting go

and there's valour in hiding your feelings

But there's strength in letting them show

When showing emotion was deemed weak

My mind is where I'd withdraw to

The pen became my speech

The paper was who I learnt to talk to

There's honour in fighting for something

But there's wisdom in letting go

and there's valour in hiding your feelings

But there's strength in letting them show

Yet most of our rosebuds just blow away
