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 it fades away so easily



In this world we've created

In this place that we live

From the blink of an eye, babe

The darkness sets in

Love lights the world

And lights the lovers for eternity



Love breaks the chains

Love aches for everyone of us

Love takes the tears and pain

And it turns it into 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, oh...



Love breaks the chains

Love aches for everyone of us

Love takes the tears and the pain

And it turns it into the beauty that remains



Mmm...mmm...mmm...
