Whatever happen to my

Garden of black roses

Oh nurturin' years of so long

Whatever happen to my

Garden of black roses

They say a stranger

Treated them wrong

When I was a boy

I planted a garden

That meant so much to me

One of reality

A garden of love,

None like it

One of a kind quality

A prayer for you and me

If we can keep the candles burnin'

To shelter them from pain,

Oh let them laugh again,

Shower the world

With their innocence

Who's tears felt like rain

History remains the same

But one by one

They come up missing

Strangers thought I was sleepin'

Some life means nothin' to some

Watch out, now

We've got them on the run
