THE POWER OF LOVE

Beyond actions of my own 
Beyond gifts and talents I've shown
Beyond the highest building
With its steeple cones
Love lifted me

Beyond being the greatest poetic voice 
Beyond my Christian hymns of choice 
Beyond the pleasures of my wildest dreams 
Love lifted me 

Beyond my name flashing on broadway lights 
Beyond the distant stars of the night 
Beyond the wrongs that I've made right 
Love lifted me 

Beyond the highest office in the land 
Beyond the title of the worlds richest man 
Beyond receiving the best  grammy 
In my right hand 
Love has lifted me.
