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 turns 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      'Cause 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      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      That's the way, that's the way, that's the way it is with love   That's the way, that's the way, that's the way it is with love   That's the way that's the way that's the way it is with love   ...
