The Rose
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 the chance
It's the one who won't be taking who cannot seem to give
And the soul afraid of dying that never learns to live
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
