Sometimes a rose will grow in concrete
Sometimes the caged bird will sing
Sometimes the whole can be incomplete
Sometimes the captive don't complain
Sometimes the choosy have no options
Sometimes the loser wins the fame
Sometimes we'll never get no answers
But still the questions will remain
La da yah yah yah da
La da yah yah da yeh
La da yah yah yah yeh yeh yeh yeh
La da di yah yah yeh
Sometimes the sweet will leave you sour
Sometimes forever lasts a day
Sometimes the cure is in a flower
Sometimes the lost will make their way
Sometimes the killers are so gentle
Sometimes survivors live in pain
Sometimes we'll never get no answers
But still the questions will remain
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Yeah yeh yeah oooh
Oooh
Sometimes a rose will grow in concrete
Sometimes the caged bird will sing, oooh
Sometimes a rose will grow in concrete, yeah
Sometimes the caged bird will sing, ooh aah, yes she will
Sometimes a rose will grow in concrete, wooo yeah
Sometimes the caged bird will sing, aah aaah
