The Rose

Lyrics

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 Some say love It is a hunger, an endless aching need I say love, it is a flower And you its only seed It's the heart, afraid of breaking That never learns to dance It's the dream, afraid of waking That never takes a chance 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 When the night has been too lonely And the road has been to long And you think that love is only for The lucky and the strong Just remember In the winter far beneath the bitter snows Lies the seed that with the sun's love In the spring becomes the rose
