Beautiful Rose Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I remember barefoot creek
And rolled up huckleberry jeans
And posters hanging on the wall
Of heroes that would never fall
[ Lyrics from: http://www.cloverlyrics.com/e120593-sean_mcconnell~beautiful_rose_lyrics.html ]
[Verse 2]
Summer nights, kick the can
Huffy bikes and Peter Pan
But baby, this ain't Neverland
No baby, this ain't Neverland

[Chorus]
Yeah, maybe life's not what I thought it'd be
It's nothing like my childhood fantasies
It's harder than I could've known
But higher than my hopes could've flown
And better than I ever could've dreamed
More villains and sad endings I suppose
But I'll take the thorns for this beautiful rose

[Verse 3]
Well, I heard you could make God laugh
By telling him the plans you have
And now I know that to be true
Cause I could never dream of you

[Verse 4]
Praise the Lord, there's something more than
What we think we're fighting for
Just think what we'd be missing
If we only got what we were wishing

[Chorus]
Maybe life's not what I thought it'd be
It's nothing like my childhood fantasies
It's harder than I could've known
But higher than my hopes could've flown
And better than I ever could've dreamed
More villains and sad endings I suppose
But I'll take the thorns for this beautiful rose

[Chorus]
Well, maybe life's not what I thought it'd be
Nothing like my childhood fantasies
It's harder than I could've known
But higher than my hopes could've flown
And better than I ever could've dreamed
More villains and sad endings I suppose
But I'll take the thorns for this beautiful rose
I'll take the thorns for this beautiful rose
