Lyrics
The Rose
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Lies the seed that with the sun’s love in the spring
Becomes the rose
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
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
Life is a gift and you gotta learn to live it if you believe in love
You gotta learn to give it
Tryin’ to find someone who’s kind is hard to do
You want the love but you really don’t know what to do
You’re just afraid of someone breaking your heart
You never learned to live you gave up from the start
You felt the pain but it made you strong
So remember no matter what you will go on
