The Rose 

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 walking 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 ub the winter for beneath the bitter snow 
Lies the seed that with the sun's love in the spring becomes the rose 

(Rap) 
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
