The Rose - Bette Midler

A very strong song for those in times of need.

I first heard it during my first retreat with my church's youth ministry, and every time I listen it grows on me.

"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, its only seed

Its the heart afraid of breaking, that never learns to dance
Its the dream afraid of waking, that never takes the chance
Its the one who wont be taken, the one who cant 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 that in the winter, far beneath the bitter snow
Lies the seed, that with the suns love in the spring becomes the rose"

And the soul afraid of dying, that never learns to live. Learning to live is the hardest part of life.

PS: Sorry for not keeping up with this, I forgot the reasons why I record my life in here. Recently, I heard that the mother of a good friend has been hospitalized, and that friend reconnected the broken chain between us.
