The Rose - Performed By Westlife; Original By Bette Midler

Some say love it is a river
That drowns the tender reed
Some say love it is a razer
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 dying
That never learns to live

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 snows
Lies the seed
That with the sun's love
In the spring
Becomes the rose

This song best defines the meaning of LOVE to me. Each and every word in this song. Even in my lowest point of life, when everything seems ominous, I just have to grasp its chords and I bring myself up from whatever tumbles I encounter...

I've cried a million tears, this song alleviated my griefs and sorrows.

Thanks Lina, this song means so much to me...
