The Way It Is With Love

(альбом: Natalie Grant - 1999)

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

[chorus]
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

[chorus]

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

[chorus]
