3.73 min. | 4.79 user rating		 From Divine Madness 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 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 cannot seem to give, and the soul afraid of dyin' that never learns to live. When the night has been too lonely and the road has been to 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.

4.82 min. | 4.91 user rating		 The Rose lyrics diverse Songtext -German- 1. Liebe ist wie wildes Wasser,das sich durch Felsen zwängt, Liebe ist so wie ein Messer,das dir im Herzen brennt. Sie ist süß und sie ist bitter,wie ein Sturmwind und ein Hauch. Für mich ist sie eine Rose,für dich ein Dornenstrauch. 2. Wer nie weint und niemals trauert,der weiß auch nichts vom Glück. wer nur sucht was ewig dauert,versäumt den Augenblick. Wer nie nimmt,kann auch nicht geben,und wer sein Leben lang, immer Angst hat vor dem Sterben, fängt nie zu Leben an. 3. Wenn du denkst,du bist verlassen,kein Weg führt aus der Nacht, fängt an die Welt zu hassen,die and`re glücklich macht. Doch vergiss nicht an dem Zweig dort,der im Schnee beinah erfror, blüht im Frühling eine Rose,so schön wie nie zuvor. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- version -2- Manche sagen, Liebe ist ein Strom, der das zarte Schilf durchnässt. Manche sagen, Liebe ist eine Klinge, die deine Seele bluten lässt. Manche sagen, Liebe ist ein Hunger, ein unstillbarer Zorn. Ich sag, Liebe ist eine Blume und du ihr einzges Korn Es ist das Herz, das angst hat zu Brechen, das niemals erlernt den Tanz. Es ist der Traum, voll Angst vorm Erwachen, der niemals ergreift die Chance. Es ist der, der nie genommen wird, der niemals vermag zu geben, und die Seele, die angst hat zu Sterben, die niemals lernt zu Leben. Wenn die Nacht einsam gewesen, und der Weg war viel zu lang. Und du denkst, dass Liebe nur für die Glücklichen und Starken <b>...</b>
