A voice says cry - what shall I cry? To the children who've fallen from grace All this life - will fade away Let the black flower grow where it may (For) in Sharon grows - A rose who knows How to flourish the flower in the rain And blessings fall - as blossoms fade Let the black flower grow where it may Chorus The sun is gonna shine tomorrow The good and the bad both feel the rain Faith, hope and love outlive our sorrow 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 Let the black flower grow where it may Chorus 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 Chorus
