Some say love, it is a river
that drowns a single reed
Some say love, it is a razor
that 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, 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 a chance.
It's the one who won't be taken
who cannot seem to give.
It's the soul afraid of dying
who 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 spring time,
far beneath the bitter snow
lies the seed that with the sun's love
in the spring becomes the rose.
