[Verso 1]
If you see Rose Dover
That's her secret name
She would meet 3 others
To keep the forest safe
[Pre Coro]
She says my reality
Got soon called Make Believe
Imagination's funeral
Killed by the teenage me
[Coro 1]
You don't have to throw it away
Throw being a kid away
Just because you're growing up
Faster everyday
You don't have to throw it all away
You don't have to throw it all away
There's a way
I've been thinking lately it's not
A permanent situation
Just a phase that she's in
I've been thinking lately
I've been thinking lately
It's not permanent
[Puente]
A scattering of birds
Above her head
A scattering of birds
That whisper to her
[Coro 2]
You don't have to throw it away
Throw being a kid away
Just because you're growing up
Faster everyday, you
You don't have to throw it all away
There's a way
[Verso 2]
Happy was Rose Dover
Speaking badger, fawn, rabbit
(Behind the lumberjacks)
Pondering the dilemmas
At the Redwood conference
[Pre Coro]
She cries, my reality
Is now called make believe
Imagination's funeral
Killed by the teenage me
[Coro 3]
You don't have to throw it away
Throw being a kid away
Just because you're growing up
Faster everyday
You don't have to throw it all away
You don't have to throw it all away
And as you rise
A rose you will forever stay
