The Rose Lyrics for inspirational meaning

[Guest guest]

A friend of mine forwarded this to me today and urged me to think of the meaning

of the lyrics. He is very insightful and he knows I have a neurological

condition that amongst other things makes my hands cold and (as he is a tai chi

teacher amongst other things) he also knows that losing the feeling of being

grounded in ones feet is a hard thing. I loved it and thought I would pass it

on.

- Donna from London

Song: The Rose Lyrics

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 waking

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.

And 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 in the winter

Far beneath the bitter snow

Lies the seed that with the sun's love,

In the spring, becomes a rose.
