Here are the lyrics:

THE ROSE
(Amanda McBroom)

Some say love, it is a river
That drowns the tender reed
Some say love, it is a razor
That leads your soul to bleed.
Some say love, it is a hunger
An endless aching need.
But I say love, it is a flower
And you its 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 that's never taken
Who cannot seem to give
And the soul afraid of dying
That never learns to live.

When the night has been so 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 grows
In the spring becomes the rose

I say love it is a flower
And you its only seed.
[repeat these two lines three times]
