[Vanessa]
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
[Brian]
In this world we've created, in this place that we live
In the blink of an eye, Babe, the darkness slips in
Love lights the world, unites the lovers for eternity
Love breaks the chains
Love aches for everyone of us
Love takes the tears and the pain
And it turns it in to the beauty that remains
[Vanessa]
Look at this place
It was paradise but now it's dying
I'll pray for love
[Brian]
I'll take my chances that it's not too late
[Vanessa]
Love breaks your heart
Love takes no less than everything
Love makes it hard
[Brian]
And it fades away so easily
[Both]
Oh-Oh-Oh
Love breaks the chains
Love aches for every one of us
Love takes the tears and the pain
And it turns it into the beauty that remains
