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 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 can not 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 to 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
