the rose - bianca ryan

Some say love
It is a river
That drowns
So tenderly
Some say love
It is a reason
That leaves
Your sould 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 will be taking
Who can not
Seem to give

And the song
Afraid of dying
That never
Learns to live

When the night
Has been to 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
