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
