THE ROSE
“…When the night has been too lonely,
& the road has been too long,
& you think
that love is only
for the lucky
& the strong.
Just remember,
in the winter,
far beneath the winter snow,
lies the
seed
that with the sun’s love, becomes the rose...”
Amanda McBroom wrote the soothing lyrics that became the title song for Bette Midler's 1979 film loosely based on vocalist Janis Joplin. The songwriter's words offer encouragement and hope. Midler's delivery complements the lyrics.
As
