Jackie found a box of roses In a bedroom dresser drawer The pedals all dried out and mourning As if they remembered a life before The colors were all but faded Their life lost and hidden for years Their beauty abandoned and waning And falling like Jackie's own tears Jackie's been desperately waiting For a future that never arrived She mourns for a loss so grievous It's a miracle she ever survived The miracle of walking on water That so inspired her passions of youth That a song could ever really save her Was obviously not the whole truth So what is left to revive her Are there songs that can bury her fears Who will sing that song now so fabled That could lead her to new frontiers As Jackie now hides her sorrow Enclosed in a prison so blue She waits for a morning to wake her For a sunrise that lifts to renew But what will finally happen If hope has been lost for too long And her gift of love never taken And the giver forgotten and wronged
