Story behind the song
Politicans living off of the defecit, the world brought to the bring caught in the eternal never ending payback, Love still reigns they cant beat us
Lyrics
All these great things we used to have now stolen and passing us by Talk of defecits and mountain high ceilings Looks like the whip been too dry Of the common blood of man the manwhose hands are dirty Now taken and broken from money on high. Chorus And She says bring me a rose, Bring me a lie bring me a tear in your eye Now the days are demon ridden and the border guards are worse Then the plague they killed so it seems You can high behind a mountain You can color code your life WHile the nightmare runs all your dreams. Chorus And She says bring me a rose, Bring me a lie bring me a tear in your eye Chorus Once when we young the world was all ours we'd live for an eternity Once when we young smiled and said Bring your love right to me

Hi Roger, I carefully read ( yes read, I can´t yet understand so well spoken english... ) your Lyrics on "Bring me a rose". Very very deep words. Your voice is singular expressiv and match exactly to the song! I enjoyed this tune and listened to it more than one time. Thank you for sharing it with us! :-)

Hi Roger, Deep food for thought and this seems to be true unfortunatley! We don't know who to trust anymore? Many are there for money and power! Merry Christmas and it is good to get these things out in the open! Let's keep in touch when we can! Heleana Maria or Ellen

Rodger, You take me back to the 60's a turbelent time in our lives..Dylan and many other artist wrote and sang about the injustice of events in our times... Loved the lyrics and your vocals Thanks for stopping by my little corner of SC always enjoy a visit from you

Your poetic lyrics once again hit it right on the mark, they shine through and through all the generations. The more things change the more they remain the same. Another great one Roger.

Hey RJ, Dude, you've been busy for certain! That's for sure, the only thing that don't cost anything and if you have it in you, you give it freely....we folks can be battered, bruised and hammered, but love heals, enlightens and keeps on giving!!!! Great song RJ....you've got a knack for writin' messages that strike a chord in the head and the heart!!!!!! Best of all good things to you my friend, Wade

Love is all that matters, faithful and forever keeping us together love is all we need. Oops Eric Carmen said that. Very true your words. Maybe love will be the salvation of us all. One of the last pure things of man.
