[Salvation]

The Rose
by Bette Midler

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,
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 a 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 rest of the song:

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 Son's love
In the spring becomes the rose.
