Lyrics Roses at the Top - Sharon Lewis

Standing still, looking at our lives
With a microscope and a sharp knife
It hurts a lot, you've got wounds so deep
I got trouble in my heart, trouble in my sleep

Is it written in my DNA from my family line
Goes back centuries, stretching across time
If as a child it just didn't show
How do you expect that light inside to grow

I didn't love myself, that was my down fall
But it can take lifetimes to stand that tall

And when I love myself, I'll be much better off
I'll be worth a lot

I'm praying for that seed, gonna plant it inside
I can't change history but the future is mine

Tell my fathers father, my mothers mother
Tell my sisters sister, my brothers brother

Tell that stormy sea and that hurricane
Tell that ball and chain I'm breaking free
I'm breaking free

I didn't love myself, that was my down fall
But it can take lifetimes to stand that tall

And when I love myself, I'll be much better off
I'll be worth a lot

If time is precious and days are like jewels
Think how wealthy we'll be when we're 92

I'm not getting younger, I know I'm getting old
But every day I'm spinning straw into gold
Straw into gold, straw into gold

I didn't love myself, that was my down fall
But it can take lifetimes to stand that tall

And when I love myself, I'll be much better off
I'll be worth a lot

Climbing this mountain, I've really learnt a lot
It's a long, long journey, to reach the roses at the top

Roses at the top
Reach the roses at the top
