The Power and the Glory
Embracing the Power and Glory of Love
Lyrics
I don't want to think about it, why can't I live without it?
I'm avoiding thinking about something, questioning why it's essential for my existence.
Oh, I need the love
Expressing a need for love.
I'm free and independent, I just take life and I spend it
Describing a sense of freedom and independence, living life without constraints.
Oh, I need the love
Reiterating the need for love.
I'll feel the flames of a million fires
Feeling intense emotions symbolized by flames.
Fed by my feelings and my desires
These flames are fueled by emotions and desires.
Oh, I need the love
Reaffirming the need for love.
Oh, I want the love
Expressing a strong desire for love.
I just need the power from above
Stating the need for power from a higher source.
I just got the power from above
Claiming to have acquired power from above.
Can't believe I saw the light, never thought I'd see the day
Expressing disbelief at having a transformative realization or experience.
So filled with wrong I couldn't see right, almost lost the way
Acknowledging past mistakes and a lack of clarity.
I was headed down, taken by the tide
Describing a downward trajectory influenced by negative forces.
I was lost at sea, missing in action, taken for a ride
Feeling lost, misled, and taken advantage of.
CHORUS:
Introduction of the chorus.
Now I've got the power and the glory
Claiming possession of power and glory.
I've got the power from above
Attributing acquired power to a higher source.
I've got the power and the glory
Reiteration of having power and glory.
I've got the power, power of love
Emphasizing the power of love.
All the time I knew what was wrong, but denied it all the same
Acknowledging awareness of past mistakes but choosing to ignore them.
I was so blind I sang the same song, thought it was a game
Recognizing past blindness and treating serious matters as a game.
But when I looked inside, the writing on the wall
Finding a revelation when looking within.
Said, "it's a long way down, face it clown, fool you're gonna fall"
Noting a warning about the consequences of continued negative behavior.
REPEAT CHORUS
Repeating the chorus.
That's right
An emphatic statement expressing affirmation or agreement.
Solo - Jay Jay
Instrumental solo performed by Jay Jay.
REPEAT CHORUS
Repeating the chorus.
Power of love
Emphasizing the enduring strength of love.
Power of love
Reiterating the enduring power of love.
