Bette Midler - The Rose

"The Rose"

Some say love, it is a river
That drowns the tender reed.
Some say love, it is a razor
That leaves your soul to bleed.
Some say love, it is a hunger,
An endless aching need.
I say love, it is a flower,
And you its only seed.

It's the heart afraid of breaking
That never learns to dance.
It's the dream afraid of waking
That never takes the chance.
It's the one who won't be taken,
Who cannot seem to give,
And the soul afraid of dyin'
That never learns to live.

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 sun's love
In the spring becomes the rose. 

「猫侍」主題歌「我が道よ」

「我が道よ」
作詞：仲智 唯
作曲：野中”まさ”雄一
唄：NOAH

何故行くのか？何を追うのか？
決して揺るがない志（こころざし）

「吉」と出るか「凶」と出るのか
耳を研ぎ澄ます刃（やいば）の声よ

噛み締めた気合と喝（かつ）の武士の道
情（なさけ）を捨てて踏み鳴らす

いざ道を行けば見えてくるか
己（おのれ）の足あと振り向くな

道を行けば越えてみせよ
己に負けじと我が道を
