The Power of Love
J.F. Band Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We were kind
We were cruel
We lost our mind
We broke the golden rule
I logged out, while he was logging in
You don’t pay attention, you’re gonna lose and lose again
It’s true, that when love is unkind
It breaks your heart; it bends your mind
But that force that cut you adrift
Can bridge the gulf; can mend that rift
It can take the shape of a thousand forms
Of thunder & lightening; of an awesome storm
It can whisper like the wings of a bird
Or a child’s laugh that you never heard
CHORUS:
That’s the power of Love
That’s the power
That’s the power of Love
Open up a window – see the lights of the street and the traffic below
Open up a window – hear the sounds of the harbor as the boats come and go
Open up a window – smell the dark green spruce and the prairie meadow
Open up a window – to the heart of your very soul
CHORUS
That’s the power of. This is the hour of
That’s the power of. Heaven’s shower of
That’s the power of. Take the vow above
