The Way It Is With Love

Inside of every heart, there is a seed

My mama watered mine, and raised me to be

A rose, a rose, or some greater thing

Mama, you're beautiful to me

Oh my Daddy, I want you to know

Your little, baby girl became that rose

The bloom, the bloom blushed deeper red

With every drop of sacrifice you bled

There's no growing without any pain

There's no flowers without the rain

We are bound together by blood that's flowing through us

And that's the way it is with love

I have a vision, a hope and a dream

I see a hill, across a healing stream

Where the Rose arose, to set us free

And the Cross became a family tree

There's no growing without any pain

There's no flowers without the rain

We are bound together by blood that's flowing through us

And that's the way it is with love

Circle of God comes around

And turns us into special things, somehow

And one day we'll hold little flowers of our own

And we'll sacrifice so that they can grow

There's no growing without any pain

There's no flowers without the rain

We are bound together by blood that's flowing through us

And that's the way it is with love
