they say it's a river

that circles the earth

a beam of light shining

to the edge of the universe

it conquers all

it changes everything

they say it's a blessing

they say it's a gift

they say it's a miracle

and i believe that it is

it conquers all

but it's a mystery

love breaks your heart

love takes no less than everything

love makes it hard

and fades away so easily

in this world we've created

in this place that we live

in a blink of an eye baby

the darkness slips in

love lights the world

unites the lovers for eternity

love breaks the chain

love aches for everyone of us

love takes the tears and the pain

and turns it in to the

beauty that remains

look at this place

it was paradise but now it's dying

i'll pray for love

i'll take my chances

that it's not too late

love breaks your heart

love takes no less than everything

love makes it hard

and it fades away so easily

love breaks the chain

love aches for everyone of us

love takes the tears and the pain

and turns it in to the

beauty that remains
