The Rose Lyrics by Jake Shimabukuro

Jake & Friends

2021

[Verse 1]
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, oh love, it is a flower
And you, you are its only seed
[Verse 2]
It's the heart afraid of breaking
That never learns to dance
It's the dream afraid of waking
That never takes the chance
And it's the one who won't be taken
Who cannot seem to give
And the soul, the soul afraid of dyin'
That never, nеver learns to live
[Verse 3]
Whеn the night has been too lonely
And the road has been too long
And you think that love is only
Only for the lucky and the strong
You remember in the winter
Far beneath the bitter snows
Lies the seed that with the sun's love
In the spring becomes the rose
