Lyrics
Some say love, it is a river
Love is often compared to a flowing river.
That drowns the tender reed
Love can overwhelm and weaken delicate things.
Some say love, it is a razor
Some view love as a sharp and painful experience.
That leaves your soul to bleed
Love can leave one's inner self in pain and sorrow.
Some say love, it is a hunger
Love is seen as a constant, insatiable desire.
An endless aching need
Love creates a never-ending and intense yearning.
I say love, it is a flower
The speaker sees love as a beautiful, growing entity.
And you, it's only seed
The person is the potential for love to blossom.
It's the heart afraid of breaking
It's the fear of heartbreak that prevents one from experiencing joy.
That never learns to dance
People who fear heartbreak may miss out on the joy of life.
It's the dream afraid of waking
Fear of facing reality prevents the pursuit of dreams.
That never takes the chance
Those who fear waking to reality may miss opportunities.
It's the one who won't be taking
Refers to individuals who avoid taking risks or making efforts.
Who cannot seem to give
People who can't give often struggle to receive love.
And the soul, afraid of dyin'
Fear of death can hinder the experience of life's richness.
That never learns to live
Avoiding the fullness of life due to fear of mortality.
When the night has been too lonely
Describes a time of deep loneliness and weariness.
And the road has been too long
Expresses the exhaustion from a prolonged and challenging journey.
And you think that love is only
Suggests a belief that love is reserved for those fortunate and resilient.
For the lucky and the strong
Implies that love requires luck and strength to endure hardships.
Just remember in the winter
Encourages remembering during difficult times.
Far beneath the bitter snows
Metaphorically describes challenges as bitter, cold coverings.
Lies the seed that with the sun's love
Highlights the potential for growth and beauty hidden within difficulties.
In the spring becomes the rose
Symbolizes transformation and renewal, akin to a blooming rose in spring.
