From a simple prayer
That began as a whisper in a quiet place
A dream can inspire the world
A voice echoes 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
Ah---Ah---Ah---Ah---
Ah---Ah---Ah---Ah---Ah---
From a simple prayer
That began as a whisper in a quiet place
A dream can inspire the world
A voice echoes 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
In spite of it all
A simple rose among thorns
