[Verse 1]
He said, "You're not
Quite mad enough
You don't belong
Within these bounds"
So I went wild
They tied me up
But, still he said
"Not wild enough"
[Refrain]
The power of love
Came into me
And I became
Fierce like a lion
Then tender like
The evening star
I first was dead
And then alive
First weeping
Then laughing
[Verse 2]
I journeyed forth
On into joy
He said, "Still more"
So, then I died
At this he said
"You clevеr man
So full of dreams
So full of doubts"
[Refrain]
The power of lovе
Came into me
And I became
Fierce like a lion
Then tender like
The evening star
I first was dead
And then alive
First weeping
Then laughing
[Verse 3]
I pulled my hair
Became the fool
He said, "Ah, now
You are the light"
"But," I replied
"No light am I
Just scattered smoke
I have no flame
[Bridge]
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
[Verse 4]
But, then a voice
Said, "Do not move
The love sublime
Comes toward you"
And this love said
Stay here with me
I said, "I will"
I said, "I will"
[Refrain]
The power of love
Came into me
And I became
Fierce like a lion
Then tender like
The evening star
I first was dead
And then alive
First weeping
Then laughing
