Rose in the Mud
Written by Adrienne Leopold © 2005
There were times in my life I was so down the ground was my sky
Filled with disbelief I couldn’t see past wondering why
Disappointment and shame and feeling to blame were my best friends
But dwelling on things would only bring them back again.
So I took a chance, took a second glance at what’s inside
A soul tough as nails always prevails every time
I thought if I tried it’s possible I might break free
So with all of my might I looked to the light to save me.
Chorus
A rose in the mud
Stuck in a spot can’t get out of
Weighing on me, drowning my dreams like a great flood
But I’ll use my strength to shake it all off and be proud of
Beauty misjudged
Like a rose in the mud.
Looking at me today you’d say there’s no way I was once low
I used to be small, but now I stand tall and I’m still growin’
Stopped letting the hurt and all of the dirt get in my way
Learned from the wrong how to be strong, now I'm not afraid.
Chorus
So when you see someone like me down on their luck
Give ‘em a hand, try to understand that they’re just stuck
It could be you trying to break through out of a rut
Momentarily lost
Like a rose in the mud.
Chorus x2
