[Verse 1] I, hmm Dreams are like angels They keep bad at bay Love is the light Scaring darkness away I'm so in love with you Make love your goal [Chorus 1] The power of love A force from above Cleaning my soul Flame on, burn desire Love with tongues of fire Purge the soul Make love your goal [Verse 2] I'll protect you from the hooded claw Keep the vampires from your door When the chips are down, I'll be around With my undying, death-defying love for you Envy will hurt itself Let yourself be beautiful Sparkling like, flowers and pearls and pretty girls Love is like an energy Rushing in, rushing inside of me, hmm [Chorus 1] The power of love A force from above Cleaning my soul Flame on, burn desire Love with tongues of fire Purge the soul Make love your goal [Bridge] This time, we go sublime Lovers entwined, divine, divine Love is danger, love is pleasure Love is pure, the only treasure I'm so in love with you Make love your goal [Chorus 2] The power of love A force from above Cleaning my soul The power of love A force from above A sky-scraping​ dove Flame on, burn desire Love with tongues of fire Purge the soul Make love your goal [Outro] Make love your goal
