Some say love, it is a river, 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 a chance,
It's the one that 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 snow,
Lies the seed that with the sun's love in the
spring becomes the rose.
