Some say love
It is a river
And that it drowns the tender reed
And some say love
It's like a razor
And that it 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
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 dyin'
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 snows
Lies the seed
That with the sun's love
In the spring
Becomes the rose
