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 ka flower, and you its only seed
It’s the heart afraid of breaking that never learns to dance
It’s the one who won’t be taken, who cannot seem to give
And the soul afraid of dyin’ that never learns to live
When the night has been too lonely
and road has been too long
And you think that love is only for the lucky and the strong
Just remember in the winter beneath
The bitter snow lies the seed
That with the sun’s love in the spring becomes the rose
