The Rose

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

（break）

it's the heart afriad of breaking

that never learns to dance

it's the dream afriad 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

（break）

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
