  • If you see Rose Dover
    That's her secret name
    She would meet 3 others
    To keep the forest safe

    She says my reality
    Got soon called Make Believe,
    Imagination's funeral
    Killed by the teenage me
    You don't have to throw it away
    Throw being a kid away
    Just because you're growing up
    Faster everyday
    You don't have to throw it all away
    You don't have to throw it all away
    There's a way

    I've been thinking lately it's not
    A permanent situation
    Just a phase that she's in
    I've been thinking lately
    I've been thinking lately
    It's not permanent

    A scattering of birds
    Above her head
    A scattering of birds
    That whisper to her
    You don't have to throw it away
    Throw being a kid away
    Just because you're growing up
    Faster everyday

    You don't have to throw it all away
    There's a way
    Happy was Rose Dover
    Speaking badger, fawn, rabbit
    (Behind the lumberjacks)
    Pondering the dilemma
    At the Redwood conference
    She cries, my reality is now called
    Make Believe, imagination's funeral
    Killed by the teenage me

    You don't have to throw it away
    Throw being a kid away
    Just because you're growing up
    Faster everyday
    You don't have to throw it all away
    You don't have to throw it all away
    And as you rise
    A rose you will forever stay Writer/s: MYRA ELLEN TORI AMOS
