I'm the black rose that rises
from the dry desert floor
My thorns are razor sharp
and I'm evil to the core
I'm the only rose to survive
So proudly I stand
All the others are mere petals
dancing across the desert sand
The wind blows me to the left
then blows me to the right
I open at dawn
then close down for the night
I've survived winter and summer
even the bitterness of fall
While the others just wilted
I remain here standing tall
No one can break me
or ever cut me down
I'm at home being alone
No one around
My black petals, they shimmer
they shine in the light
I rise and kiss the sun
for giving me it's awesome light
Although I'm alone
I'm never lonely or scared
I'm always ready for battle
Standing proud and prepared
I'm the black rose that rises
from the dry desert floor
My thorns are razor sharp
and I'm evil to the core
