And I Say, "Love Is From Eden.."

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 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 can not 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 in the winter far beneath the bitter snow lies the seed;
That with the sun's love in the spring becomes the rose.
