The Rose

Lies the seed that with the sun's love

In the spring

Becomes 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 it's only seed

It's the heart

Afraid of breaking

that never learns to dance

It's the dream

Afraid of walking

that never takes the chance

It's the one

who won't be taken

who can't seem to give

And the soul

Afraid of dying

that never... learns to live

Life is a gift

and you gotta learn to live

It if you believe in love

You gotta learn to give it

Tryin' to find someone

who's kind is hard to do

You want the love

but you really don't know

what to do

You're just afraid of someone

breaking your heart

You never learned to

live you gave up from the start

You felt the pain

but it made you strong

So remember no matter

what you will go on

When 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

Just remember

In the winter for beneath

the bitter snow

Lies the seed that with the sun's love

in the spring becomes the rose

Lies the seed that with the sun's love

in the spring becomes the rose
