| Song | They Are the Roses |
| Artist | Acappella |
| Album | Heaven and Earth |
| Born with heaven in their eyes | |
| God sent, innocent, the promise of life | |
| Born into this mess we've made | |
| Holding the future and hope of better days | |
| 'Cause there is nothing more beautiful and wild | |
| Than the dreams that grow in the heart of every child | |
| Chorus: | |
| They are the roses (they are) | |
| They are the lights that shine (they are) | |
| They are the waves that roll in on the ocean tide | |
| They are angels (they are) | |
| They are souls in flight (they are) | |
| They are the hope that everything's gonna be all right | |
| They are the roses (they are, they are) | |
| Imagine a place | |
| Filled with happy sounds of playgrounds where every child is safe (where every child is safe) | |
| Where people join hands | |
| Pray our children will all have a chance | |
| In every family, in every tribe, in every town | |
| We're the keepers of this garden and we can't let them down | |
| Repeat Chorus | |
| Oh they are the roses (they are) | |
| They are our children (they are our children) | |
| They are the waves that roll in on the ocean tide | |
| They are our future (they are our future, they are) | |
| They are our doctors (they ) | |
| They are our preachers, | |
| They are our teachers | |
| Let's not forget them | |
| Have compassion on our children (everything's gonna be all right) | |
| They are | |
