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
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 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
But remember in the winter

Far beneath the bitter snow
Lies the sead that with the suns love
In the spring becomes a rose
