THAT’S WHAT WRITES THE BOOK
LIFE IS STRANGE IT CAN DRIVE YOU INSANE
FOR EVERY SINGLE RAINBOW
THERE'S A WHOLE LOT OF RAIN
WHEN THE STORY'S TOLD IT'S A STRUGGLE OF THE SOUL
WELL, MAYBE IT'S THE HEARTACHE
THAT MAKES A HEART OF GOLD
DAYS GO BY IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE
SO CHERISH ALL THE LAUGHTER AND EVERY TEAR YOU CRY
COS LIVING IS THE BOOK AND THE PEN IS IN YOUR HAND
AND with every word I write
I will try and understand
IT'S THE ROSE AND THE THORN- THE BLESSING AND THE CURSE
THE PLEASURE AND THE PAIN-THE BEST AND THE WORST
THE FOOL AND THE SAGE-THE HERO AND THE CROOK
SPILL THEIR BLOOD ON THE PAGE
BUT THAT'S WHAT WRITES THE BOOK
SO I WILL TAKE MY TIME LINE BY LINE
TO FINE THE HIDDEN MEANING
EVERY REASON EVERY RHYME
BECAUSE TO KNOW THE TRUTH
WHAT IT IS AND WHAT IT AINT
TAKES THE PASSION OF THE SINNER
AND THE PATIENCE OF A SAINT
IT'S THE ROSE AND THE THORN- THE BLESSING AND THE CURSE
THE PLEASURE AND THE PAIN-THE BEST AND THE WORST
THE FOOL AND THE SAGE-THE HERO AND THE CROOK
SPILL THEIR BLOOD ON THE PAGE
BUT THAT'S WHAT WRITES THE BOOK
SO PUT YOUR HEART INTO LOVE LIKE A HAND IN A GLOVE
LEARN TO BE TENDER, LEARN TO BE TOUGH
IT'S THE ROSE AND THE THORN- THE BLESSING AND THE CURSE
THE PLEASURE AND THE PAIN-THE BEST AND THE WORST
THE FOOL AND THE SAGE-THE HERO AND THE CROOK
SPILL THEIR BLOOD ON THE PAGE
BUT THAT'S WHAT WRITES THE BOOK
