[Intro]
[Verse 1]
On the streets of New York City where the asphalt greets the sun
Morning slips in sideways like a cheetah on the run
Sheâs out there on the sidewalk kneeling at her toil
Pulling weeds for Jesus with her knuckles in the soil
[Verse 2]
She is no St. Theresa. She is no paragon.
Fingernails are dirty. Her old blue jeans are worn.
She doesnât talk to strangers she hardly knows youâre there.
She doesnât want your money she doesnât want your prayers because
[Chorus]
This is God s dominion this is peace on earth
This is what she s put here for this is what she s worth
All the other things that matter have slowly slipped away
Now she grows her roses she grows her roses
and she grows her roses all day.
[Verse 3]
She remembers a young woman with hair as fine as gold
She remembers all her lovers and she remembers growing old
She remembers meeting Jesus she canât recall the day
She gave him all her seeds of darkness he buried them away because
[Chorus]
This is God s dominion this is peace on earth
This is what she s put here for this is what she s worth
All the other things that matter have slowly slipped away
Now she grows her roses she grows her roses
and she grows her roses all day.
[Instrumental]
[Verse 4]
Now she coaxes hope from concrete and she coaxes right from wrong
She makes the Spanish ladies break into their Spanish song
Well at night they smell her roses in the streetlampâs yellow sun
and they dream of summer dresses in the streets of old San Juan because
[Chorus]
This is God s dominion this is peace on earth
This is what she s put here for this is what she s worth
All the other things that matter have slowly slipped away
Now she grows her roses she grows her roses
and she grows her roses all day.
[Outo]
Yeah she grows her roses she grows her roses
and she grows her roses all day.
