Only A Child Of Roses

Who laughs like love,
And cries like pain,
In teardrops of
The falling rain?
For all my faults
Who takes the blame,
Forgiving all
While he is slain?
Who sings a precious melody,
Sits beside and comforts me,
When I'm alone?
Oh, only a child
Only a child of roses.
Who gives away
His precious things
To stubborn fools
And wicked kings?
Who lifts the veil
So I might see
The greatest gift
Inside of me?
Who takes me by the weary hand,
Shows me through the desperate land,
And leads me home?
Oh, only a child
Only a child of roses.
Who rows the boat
And needs no oar
Through the wind and cold
And greets the shore?
Who fights with hope
And wins the war?
Who gives the flower
And keeps its thorn?
When dusk to dusk meets dawn to dawn,
When the road is lost and the feet have gone,
Who seats the throne?
Oh, only a child
Only a child,
Oh, only a child,
Only a child of roses.

Solo Un Niño De Rosas

Quien rie el amor,
Y llora el dolor,
En lágrimas de
Lluvias que caen?
Quien toma la culpa
Por todas las faltas,
Perdona a todos
Mientras lo matan?
Quien canta dulzuras preciosas,
Y se sienta y me consola,
Cuando estoy solo?
O, solo un niño
Solo un niño de rosas.
Quien regala
Sus bienes valiosos
A tontos tercos
Y reyes malvados?
Quien me sube el velo
Para que yo pueda ver
El regalo más grande
De mi propio ser?
Quien toma mi mano cansada,
Por tierras desesperadas,
Y me guía a casa?
O, solo un niño
Solo un niño de rosas.
Quien lleva el bote
Sin usar remo
Por viento y frío
Y llega a la orilla?
Quien lucha esperanzado
Y gana la guerra?
Quien da la flor
Y retiene la espina?
Cuando anochecer encuentra amanecer,
Cuando el camino se pierde y los pies también,
Quien ocupa el trono?
O, solo un niño
Solo un niño
O, solo un niño
Solo un niño de rosas.
