No Transkei - Manfred Mann's Earth Band

This wild rose that I hold in my hand

It’s the strangest thing I’ve seen

One bud, only just started to show

And the leaves are the lightest green

It’s had it’s share of the rain

It needs some feeling to light

It’s fiery flame again

But one cruel lie and it could die

Oh Carol oh, won’t you let this flower grow

Don’t kill it Carol

Oh Carol oh, won’t you let this flower grow

Don’t kill it Carol

This wild rose that I hold in my hand

It could grow to be so strong

Born one night in the calm of the storm

It was made for a rock and roll song

It’s only just seen the light

It could so easily fall back

To the gentle night

But one cruel lie and it could die

Oh Carol oh, won’t you let this flower grow

Don’t kill it Carol

Oh Carol oh, won’t you let this flower grow

Don’t kill it Carol

This wild rose that I hold in my hand

It could grow to be so strong

Born one night in the calm of the storm

It was made for a rock and roll song

It’s only just seen the light

It could so easily fall back

To the gentle night

But one cruel lie and it could die

Oh Carol oh, won’t you let this flower grow

Don’t kill it Carol

Oh Carol oh, won’t you let this flower grow

Don’t kill it Carol
