The Power of the Heart Songtext
von Peter Gabriel

You and me we always sweat and we strain
You look for sun and I look for rain
We′re different people, we're not the same
The power of the sun
I looked for treetops, you looked for caps
Above the water, where the waves snap back
I flew around the world to bring you back
Ah the power of the heart

You looked at me and I looked at you
The sleeping heart was shining through
The wispy cobwebs that we′re breathing through
The power of the heart
I looked at you and you looked at me
I thought of the past, you thought of what could be
I asked you once again to marry me
The power of the heart


Everybody says love makes the world go round
I hear a bubbling and I hear a sound
Of my heart beating and I turn around
And find you standing at the door
You know me I like to dream a lot
Of this and that and what is not
And finally I figured out what was what
It was the power of the heart

You and me we sweat and strain
The result is always the same
You think somehow we're in a game
The power of the heart
The power of the heart

I think I'm dumb I know you′re smart
The beating of a purebred heart
I say this to you and it′s not a lark
Marry me today
You know me I like to dream a lot
Of what there is and what there's not
But mainly I dream of you a lot
The power of the heart
The power of the heart
