Roses (feat. Emeli Sandé)

This one's for you Kev, you probably won't hear it They said you got two weeks left, the doctor couldn't clear it The leukemia's weakened you, you feel like it's defeated you You can't even speak now, you know how that chemo do Is it the end for you, Kevin? No It's got your body but it ain't got your soul God's got better plans for you, he's the man for you Gave me a wake-up call, so I'm thanking you You said you need awareness, well I'mma get it for you Spread a message for you, send a blessing for you Just stay positive before it takes you I'm just sorry I couldn't save you Life's so short, ain't you forgetting You think life's all good? Well it can change in a second Whenever it's my time, whenever it arrives I just hope I'm remembered when I die (man, I swear) High up from a bird's eye view It's been cold but they still came through Look how strong that the roses Roses grew High up from a bird's eye view How the stars working out for you Look how strong that the roses Roses grew, yeah Mum planted three roses In front of the garden Each summer They bloom for you, yeah We pray that you'll see them From wherever God's keeping God's keeping God's keeping you, yeah Family over everything What am I talking 'bout? Family is everything And we don't speak every day But you know you can phone me for anything And I know I can't change the fact They're sending you to war, I pray you make it back Don't worry, you'll be home in a sec Got me staring at this picture we took before you left One thing to another You're my cousin but I love you like my brother Looking out for me when nobody else did Need to stop worrying, but I can't help it Didn't wanna go but you didn't have a choice And every time you speak, I hear the stress in your voice But don't stress too much, you'll be back soon Think about that pretty girl you're coming back to High up from a bird's eye view It's been cold but they still came through Look how strong that the roses Roses grew High up from a bird's eye view How the stars working out for you Look how strong that the roses Roses grew, yeah Mum planted three roses In front of the garden Each summer They bloom for you, yeah We pray that you'll see them From wherever God's keeping God's keeping God's keeping you, yeah Mum planted three roses In front of the garden Each summer They bloom for you Please pray that you see them Wherever God's keeping God's keeping God's keeping you
