The Rose
Music & Lyrics: Amanda McBroom
Some say love, it is a river that drowns the tender reed.
It's the heart afraid of breaking that never learns to dance.
When the night has been too lonely and the road has been too long,
Some say love, it is a razor that leaves the 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 dream afraid of waking that never takes a chance.
It's the one who won't be taken that cannot seem to give.
It's the soul afraid of dying that never learns to live.
when you think that love is only for the lucky and the strong,
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.
