(Pick Chords) It's the heart afraid of breakin' that never learns to dance. It's the dream afraid of wakin' that never takes the chance. It's the ones who won't be taken who cannot seem to give And the soul afraid of dyin' that never learns to live. (Start Strumming) 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 suns love in the spring becomes the rose.
