Power Of Love

I was born in 1950
grew up with rock and roll
I fell in love with love
deep down in my soul
pressing my transistor
to my pillow late at night
I heard pretty girls sing
that love would make everything alright
one fine day love would sweep us all away
and I believed, I believed
in the power of love.

Little girl marchin’
sign says -- Make Love Not War--
rude man rips up the sign
calls the little girl a whore
she keeps on marchin’ with her head held high
fightin’ back the tears she knows
that love will make everything alright
in her heart she knows that man
is not as bold as love
she believes, she believes
in the power of love.

I’ve been blinded by money
I’ve worshipped power-hungry drugs
now I know what I need is love
love crawls on its belly, it flies like a dove
wherever you’re at
check out the mighty, mighty power of love.

It’s not about religion
it’s got no legal code
you can’t trade it on the market
like silver or gold
it’s girls singing in the night
it’s good people being bold
you know I love you honey
I sure hope that it shows.
‘Cause when it shows it grows
and when it grows it shows
I believe, I believe in the power of love.
