well i can see
through the sparkling radiance that casts a spell on me,
like crystal liquid space, it shines through everyone,
waves in an infinite sea -

even in our desolate embrace, i see it in your face,
in you there's no disgrace,
you see yourself so small, but that's not what I see at all

you are the power in my joy, your smile anoints my fear away
your touch is fire to my soul, oh what a lucky day...
that i can see this way

well i can feel
the beauty melting from the eye of the beholder
how can we be content with the weight of all the world
upon our shoulders?

your eyes glint fire and rain against their windowed pain
in you the hope remains
you melt my heart again each time you shine from within

you are the power in my joy, your smile anoints my fear away
your touch is fire to my soul, oh what a lucky day...
that i can feel this way

well i can cry
for all the love this crazy world is lacking in
if only when i weep the tears would wash away
the muck we're tracking in

if my tears wash you clean, and clear your eyes to see
the radiant beauty
there' be no need to grieve, for love is all you'd perceive

you are the power in my joy, your smile anoints my fear away
your touch is fire to my soul, oh what a lucky day...
that i can love this way

oh what a lucky day ...
that we can love this way
