the rose

some say love, it is a river, that drowns, so tenderly, some say love, it is a reason, that leaves, your sould 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, 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 will be taking, who can not, seem to give, and the song, afraid of dying, that never, learns to live, when the night, has been to 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
