The Power of Love
I Fight Dragons Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Make a one man weep, make another man sing
Change a hawk to a little white dove
More than a feeling
That's the power of love
Tougher than diamonds, rich like cream
Stronger and harder than a bad girl's dream
Power of love that keeps you home at night
Don't take money, don't take fame
Don't need no credit card to ride this train
It's strong, and it's sudden, and it's cruel sometimes
But it might just save your life
That's the power of love
First time you feel it, it might make you sad
Next time you feel it, it might make you mad
But you'll be glad baby when you've found
That's the power makes the world go 'round
Don't take money, don't take fame
Don't need no credit card to ride this train
It's strong, and it's sudden, and it's cruel sometimes
But it might just save your life
They say that all in love is fair
Yeah, but you don't care
But you know what to do
When it gets hold of you
And with a little help from above
You'll feel the power of love
Don't take money, don't take fame
Don't need no credit card to ride this train
It's strong, and it's sudden, and it's cruel sometimes
But it might just save your life
It don't take money, don't take fame
Don't need no credit card to ride this train
It's tougher than diamonds and stronger than steel
you won't feel nothin' till you feel
Feel the power, that's the power of love
That's the power, you'll feel the power of love
You'll feel the power of love
That's the power of love
You'll feel the power of love
And it might just save your life
That's the power of love
In "The Power of Love," I Fight Dragons explores the universal, transformative, and enigmatic nature of love. The recurring line "that's the power of love" reinforces the idea that love is a force beyond explanation, language or logic; and its effects and consequences are diverse and unpredictable. The opening lines of the song describe the paradoxical effects of love where it can bring both sorrow and joy. The song also speaks to the transformative nature of love when it talks about how it can turn a hawk into a little white dove, make a bad one good, and make a wrong one right. The lyrics also contradict the conventional view of love as a weak and passive emotion by describing love as a power that is tougher than diamonds and stronger than steel.
The song's chorus, "Don't take money, don't take fame, don't need no credit card to ride this train," also reflects the idea that love is a universal experience, available to all people regardless of their socioeconomic backgrounds. Furthermore, the lyrics suggest that love can heal and restore, as it might just save someone's life.
