The Rose

[Verse 1]

Some say love, it is a river

That drowns the tender reed

Some say love it is a razor

That leaves your soul to bleed

[Verse 2]

Some say love, it is a hunger

An endless, aching need

I say love it is a flower

And you its only seed

[Verse 3]

It's the heart afraid of breaking

That never learns to dance

It's the dream afraid of waking

That never takes the chance

[Verse 4]

It's the one who won't be taken

Who cannot seem to give

And the soul afraid of dying

That never learns to live

[Verse 4]

And the night has been too lonely

And the road has been too long

And you think that love is only

For the lucky and the strong

[Verse 5]

Just remember in the winter

Far beneath the bitter snow

Lies the seed that with the sun's love

In the Spring becomes the Rose
