Lyrics
VERSE:

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

CHORUS:

Love breaks your heart

Love takes no less than everything

Love makes it hard

And fades away so easily

VERSE:

In this world we've created

In this place that we live

In a blink of an eye, baby, the darkness slips in

Love lights the world

Unites the lovers for eternity

CHORUS:

Love breaks the chain

Love aches for every one of us

Love takes the tears and the pain

And turns it into the beauty that remains

BRIDGE:

Look at this place

It was paradise, but now it's dying

I'll pray for love

I'll take my chances that it's not too late

CHORUS:

Love breaks your heart

Love takes no less than everything

Love makes it hard

And it fades away so easily

CHORUS:

Love breaks the chain

Love aches for every one of us

Love takes the tears and the pain

And turns it into the beauty that remains
