The Rose - Bette Midler

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.

Midler has never hidden that she is on the side of right and of the vulnerable and disenfranchised. her championing of gay rights makes her a hero of the revolution.

[swanson393]

was the rose written for bette midler's part in the rose movie?

[donnamccoykerr]

What a beautiful song

[WhiteSShadow88]

For all the fans of the Rose, you should really check this out: Search for: Laura zingt live, The Rose. It's a dutch girl, 17 years old singing for her departed father on it's funeral.

I'm the only one here because of Air TV anime? A song in it, "Blue Skies" has the same tune of this song.
