Amanda McBroom - The Rose lyrics

rate me

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 taken,

who cannot 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.
