[00:00.89]Some say love it is a river
[00:08.83]That drowns the tender reed.
[00:15.82]Some say love it is a razor
[00:23.90]That leaves your soul to bleed.
[00:30.89]Some say love it is a hunger
[00:38.72]An endless aching need.
[00:46.04]I say love it is a flower
[00:54.16]And you it's only seed.
[01:05.10]It's the heart afraid of breaking
[01:13.08]That never learns to dance.
[01:20.14]It's the dream afraid of waking
[01:28.00]That never takes the chance.
[01:35.13]It's the one who won't be taken
[01:43.07]Who cannot seem to give,
[01:50.41]And the soul afraid of dyin'
[01:58.28]That never learns to live.
[02:09.17]When the night has been too lonely
[02:17.00]And the road has been too long,
[02:24.49]And you think that love is only
[02:32.02]For the lucky and the strong,
[02:39.44]Just remember in the winter
[02:47.07]Far beneath the bitter snows
[02:56.75]Lies the seed that with the sun's love
[03:05.38]In the spring becomes the rose.
