A Rose Among Thorns (The Mission) [From "The Mission"]

From a simple prayer That began as a whisper in a quiet place A dream can inspire the world A voice echo far away The wind can take our thoughts From the wasteland where we walk Into a pure land As heroes proudly stand Like a rose among thorns From a simple act That began in the corner of an unlit place A vision embraces the world A million candles blaze We rise above ourselves With a dignity somehow Reach that Promised Land As heroes proudly stand Like a rose that grows In spite of it all A simple rose among thorns In every lifetime we find a heart That lights a spark in the eyes of the weary Who can lead me to a greater love Show there's good in us
