THE ROSE
Lyrics by Amanda McBroom
Some say love it is a river
that drowns the tender reed.
that drowns the tender reed.
Some say love it is a razor
that leaves the soul to bleed.
that leaves the soul to bleed.
Some say love it is a hunger
an endless aching need.
an endless aching need.
I say love it is a flower
and you, it's only seed.
and you, it's only seed.
It's the heart afraid of breaking
that never learns to dance.
that never learns to dance.
It's the dream afraid of waking
that never takes a chance.
that never takes a chance.
It's the one who can't be taken
who cannot seem to give,
who cannot seem to give,
and the soul afraid of dying
that never learns to live.
that never learns to live.
When the night has been too lonely
and the road has been too long,
and the road has been too long,
and you think that love is only
for the lucky and the strong,
for the lucky and the strong,
Just remember in the winter,
far beneath the bitter snows,
far beneath the bitter snows,
lies the seed that with the suns love
in the spring becomes the rose.
in the spring becomes the rose.
FYI: the seed is your heart; a heart full of love waiting to be opened to others in need.
You can play a significant role in other people's lives. All you need is to open your heart and allow others to enter.
