The Australian rock'n' country group Wolverines have proven themselves gifted, sincere, powerful, and loving.

The song "65 Roses" (off the "Wolverines and Roses" Album), was inspired by the story of a young child whose sister had CF.  The story goes that the young boy, unable to say "Cystic Fibrosis", mistakenly thinks that his sister has received 65 Roses.  He could'nt understand how simple roses could make his sister so terribly ill, until he grows up and realizes that she did not received flowers, but a disease, Cystic Fibrosis.

Song Lyrics

When I was just a small child, my mum and daddy came to me,
They sat me down and told me of the flowers my sister received,
65 roses of yellow and red,
they made her so tired she had to stay in bed,
I just couldn't believe the flowers my sister received,
Made it so hard for her to breath.
Why does she have 65 roses,
It must be her birthday today,
She must have been good to get 65 roses,
Why can't she come out to play?
65 roses of yellow and red,
made her so tired she had to stay in bed.
I looked all around but I couldn't find the 65 roses,
They were all in my mind.
I've grown up and I see that the only one thinking of roses was me,
And the reason that the 65 roses came was because I was too young to understand the name.
65 roses, cystic fibrosis, made her so tired she had to stay in bed.
65 roses, cystic fibrosis, I wish she had roses instead.
65 roses, cystic fibrosis, I wish that she could come out to play,
life, one supposes, I wish that she could come out to plan,
life, one supposes, is no bed of roses,
I wish she had roses instead,
Wish she had roses instead,
Wish she had roses instead,
Wish she had roses instead
