We got the power to be loving each other No matter what happens We've got the power to do that On a le pouvoir de s'aimer, okay? We got the power to be ringing the great bell out there above us We got the power for that We got the power to do that And, we dream of home, I dream of life out of here Their dreams are small My dreams don't know fear (I got all you) I got my heart full of hope I will change everything No matter what I'm told How impossible it seems (we got the power) We did it before And we'll do it again We're indestructible Even when we're tired And we've been here before Just you and I Don't try to rescue me I don't need to be rescued We got the power to be loving each other No matter what happens We've got the power to do that On a le pouvoir de s'aimer, okay? We got the power to be ringing the great bell out there above us We got the power for that We got the power to do that Get yourself up to the silent altar and call me But don't forget the machines 'Cause if your choice is chipping it down on the M1 (1, 1, 1) Then you'll wake up in the morning You'll be storming, oh, oh, oh We got the power to be loving each other No matter what happens We've got the power to do that On a le pouvoir de s'aimer, okay? We got the power to be ringing the great bell out there above us We got the power to do that We got the power, power, power, power, power We got the power We got the power
