A voice says cry but shall I cry To the children who? ve fallen from grace? All this life will fade away So let the black flower grow where it may For in Sharon grows a rose who knows How to flourish the flower in the rain As blessings fall and as blossoms fade Let the black flower grow where it may The sun is gonna shine tomorrow The good and the bad both feel the rain Faith, hope and love outlive our sorrow So let the black flower grow where it may In the garden of our lives One million flowers bloom joy that God paints The lily of the valley reigns So let the black flower grow where it may The sun is gonna shine tomorrow The good and the bad both feel the rain Faith, hope and love outlive our sorrow So let the black flower grow where it may In Zion, the black flower never blooms Its darkly faint perfume has finally been consumed In Zion, go upon the mountain high And see the risen Christ, the rose that will not die The sun is gonna shine tomorrow The good and the bad both feel the rain Faith, hope and love outlive our sorrow So let the black flower grow where it may The sun is gonna shine tomorrow The good and the bad both feel the rain Faith, hope and love outlive our sorrow So let the black flower grow where it may
