Some'd say love, it is a river that drowns the tender weed
Some'd say love, it is a razor that leads your soul to breed
Some'd say love, it is a hunger and endless taking need
I'd say love, it 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 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
Where you think that love is only for the lucky and the strong
Just remember in the winter far beneath the bitter snows
Lie a seed that with the sun's love in the spring becomes the Rose
