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 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 waking

that never takes the chance

It's the one who won't be taken

who can not 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 too long

And 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
