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
