lyrics

There are thorns among the red rose blooms
As there is rain before the sun breaks through
‘Cause what’s worth having never ever comes easy
There are thorns, hmp, yeah

Still, I’ll take my chances among the red rose blooms
Come-what-may it’s got to be better than shoulda-coulda-woulda blues
Standing tall, knowing I’ll likely fall a time, or two
Daring to walk among the red rose blooms

There are thorns among the red rose blooms
Sacrifice along the road where you
Follow to where you were meant to be
There are thorns, hey, yeah
Still take your take chances among the red rose blooms
Win-lose- or draw has got to be better than shoulda- coulda- shoulda-coulda-woulda blues
Standing tall, knowing you’ll likely fall a time, or two
There are thorns, daring, to walk among the red rose blooms
‘Cause among the blooms that’s where, that’s where, destiny calls your name
Among the blooms that’s where! that’s where! your
choices define who you are
Among the blooms that’s where life shows what it
has in store – just for you…
When you go, go ahead, take your chances among
the blooms

Say say say hey hey, I’ll take my chances, I’m
daring to take my chances
Walking through, I’m gonna walk through the
red rose. I’m gonna I’m gonna
I’m gonna hey hey hey

‘Cause among the blooms that’s where, that’s
where destiny calls your name
Among the blooms that’s where, your choices define who you are
Among the blooms that’s where life shows what
it has in store just for you…
When you go, go ahead, take your chances
among the blooms.

Say say say hey hey, I’ll take my chances, I’m
daring to take my chances
Walking through, I’m gonna walk through the
red rose.
I’m gonna, I’m gonna, I’m gonna, hey hey hey

Feel the fear and do it anyway,
Butterflies in my stomach, but I won’t let them get in my way
Buck up, hard work is the price to pay
And if you’re looking for me, me-e-e
If you’re looking for me, baby
There will be thorns, but you’ll find me among the blooms
