The Rose
Lyrics & Music: Amanda Mcbroom
Some say love it is a idlerriver  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 and endless aching need 
I say love it is a flower and you its 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 
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
