The Power Of The Heart
Peter Gabriel Lyrics

You look for sun and I look for rain
We have different desires and preferences, we are not exactly the same

We're different people, we're not the same
We are unique individuals who do not share the same thoughts and beliefs

The power of the sun
The energy and potential of achieving goals and success in life

I looked for treetops, you looked for caps
Our interests and concerns differ from each other

Above the water, where the waves snap back
In a place where challenges and difficulties arise often

I flew around the world to bring you back
I went to great lengths to bring you to safety and to be with you again

Ah, the power of the heart
The influence and strength of love and emotion

You looked at me and I looked at you
We gazed into each other's eyes and acknowledged one another

The sleeping heart was shining through
Our true emotions and intentions were apparent and clearly visible between us

The wispy cobwebs that we're breathing through
The challenges and obstacles that we are dealing with every day

The power of the heart
The immense strength and influence of love and affection

I looked at you and you looked at me
We continued to gaze at each other with love and longing

I thought of the past, you thought of what could be
We had different things in our minds, you were excited for the future, while I was reminiscing the past

I asked you once again to marry me
I proposed to you once again as an expression of pure love and devotion

Everybody says love makes the world go round
Love plays an important role in our lives and society as a whole

I hear a bubbling and I hear a sound
I am feeling my heartbeat and I am conscious of my love for you

Of my heart beating and I turn around
I am conscious of my emotions and I see you standing behind me

And find you standing at the door
I saw you on the other side of the door and was delighted to see you

You know me I like to dream a lot
I like to fantasize and dream about things, you are aware of this aspect of my personality

Of this and that and what is not
My dreams include things that do not exist and are not realistic

And finally I figured out what was what
I came to realize what truly mattered and what was most valuable to me

It was the power of the heart
It was love and affection that brought clarity to my mind

You and me we sweat and strain
We put in a lot of effort and endurance in our relationship

The result is always the same
We always end up strengthening our love and bond

You think somehow we're in a game
You ponder if our relationship has some element of surprise and spontaneity in it

The power of the heart
The influential and formidable power of mutual love and affection

I think I'm dumb, I know you're smart
I consider myself to be foolish, but realize how intelligent and wise you truly are

The beating of a purebred heart
The emotional and passionate beating of a true and genuine heart

I say this to you and it's not a lark
I say this to you with sincerity and genuine affection

Marry me today
I request you to marry me soon and make me the happiest person in the world

You know me I like to dream a lot
I love to fantasize and dream about things, and you understand this well

Of what there is and what there's not
My dreams include things that exist and things that are non-existent both

But mainly I dream of you a lot
My main dream is of you, and being with you brings me immense happiness

The power of your heart
The amazing potency and strengthening factor of one's unaffected and genuine love and affection
