[0-1:57.900]the rose
[00:08.380]
[00:14.290]Some say love,
[00:15.590]it is a river
[00:19.970]that drowns the tender reed.
[00:26.790]Some say love,
[00:30.260]it is a razor
[00:34.380]that leaves your soul to bleed.
[00:40.770]Some say love,
[00:44.990]it is a hunger,
[00:50.120]an endless aching need.
[00:55.870]I say love,
[00:59.060]it is a flower,
[01:02.970]and you it's only seed.
[01:15.070]It's the heart,
[01:17.880]afraid of breaking,
[01:22.120]that never learns to dance.
[01:29.660]It's the dream,
[01:32.160]afraid of waking,
[01:37.080]that never takes a chance.
[01:43.900]It's the one
[01:47.820]who won't be taken,
[01:51.470]who cannot seem to give.
[01:58.100]And the soul,
[02:01.660]afraid of dyin',
[02:06.050]that never learns to live.
[02:14.180]
[02:28.340]When the night has been too lonely,
[02:36.170]and the road has been too long,
[02:42.910]And you think that love is only
[02:50.650]for the lucky and the strong,
[02:57.860]Just remember
[03:01.310]in the winter
[03:05.580]far beneath the bitter snows,
[03:12.920]Lies the seed,
[03:16.530]that with the sun's love,
[03:20.830]in the spring becomes the rose
[03:30.480]
[03:32.990]
