Let There Be Love
Simple Minds Lyrics

Secrets of lovers
The intimate details that lovers share with each other.

Whisper tonight
Talking quietly, perhaps because secrets are being exchanged.

Broken down angel
A person who is in distress, whose life has fallen apart, who falls from grace or is no longer pure.

Got lost in the cold daylight
They lost their way in the harsh reality of the world they face during the day.

The city is screaming
City life is loud and chaotic.

And I look for your eyes
The singer searches the crowd for someone special, perhaps his lover.

Someone to lean on through the night
Someone to depend on, to support them emotionally during difficult times.

Your music talks to me and hits me tonight
The power of music to communicate and move people emotionally.

One candle burning, I hear you say
A candle can symbolize a glimmer of hope or an enduring memory.

Let there be love
The artist longs for love to permeate his life and conquer all hardships.

It heals and it hurts
Love can have both restorative and destructive effects.

She leads you to heaven's door
Love can transport one to a state of transcendence, bliss, and peace.

And leaves you for dirt
Love can plunge one into a state of despair, pain, and ruin.

Someone to lean on, that's your own
Having someone that you can depend on in your life that is unique and special to you.

Some magic conquers me and lives in my soul
Love has a magical power to captivate and transform.

She comes like an ocean, I hear you sing
Love can be overwhelming like the waves of the sea.

Love will conquer anything
The artist believes that love can triumph over adversity.

The wall's down
Barriers to love are removed.

They're coming down
A sense of hope and optimism arises.

I can't slow
The artist feels compelled to act on his feelings.

I know it now
The artist is confident in his convictions.

So stay now
The artist wants his beloved to remain with him.

Hold on
The singer wants his beloved to hang in there with him amidst challenges.

And I'm praying
The artist expresses a deep sense of faith and hope.

I know what I want
The singer is clear about his desires.

I know what I feel
The singer is certain about his emotions.

I know what I want, oh right
The singer is resolute and emphatic in his intentions.
