The Power and the Glory

words & music: D. Snider

I DON'T WANNA THINK ABOUT IT;
WHY CAN'T I LIVE WITHOUT IT?
OH, I NEED THE LOVE
I'M FREE AND INDEPENDENT
I JUST TAKE LIFE AND I SPEND IT
OH, I NEED THE LOVE
I'LL FEEL THE FLAMES OF A MILLION FIRES
FED BY MY FEELINGS AND MY DESIRES
OH, I NEED THE LOVE
OH, I WANT THE LOVE
I JUST NEED THE POWER FROM ABOVE
I JUST GOT THE POWER FROM ABOVE

CAN'T BELIEVE I SAW THE LIGHT;
NEVER THOUGHT I'D SEE THE DAY
SO FILLED WITH WRONG I COULDN'T SEE RIGHT;
ALMOST LOST THE WAY
I WAS HEADED DOWN
TAKEN BY THE TIDE
I WAS LOST AT SEA
MISSING IN ACTION
TAKEN FOR A RIDE

NOW I'VE GO THE POWER AND THE GLORY
I'VE GOT THE POWER FROM ABOVE
I'VE GO THE POWER AND THE GLORY
I'VE GOT THE POWER; POWER OF LOVE

ALL THE TIME I KNEW WHAT WAS WRONG,
BUT DENIED IT ALL THE SAME
I WAS SO BLIND I SANG THE SAME SONG;
THOUGHT IT WAS A GAME
BUT WHEN I LOOKED INSIDE
THE WRITING ON THE WALL
SAID, "IT'S A LONG WAY DOWN
FACE IT CLOWN,
FOOL YOU'RE GONNA FALL

(REPEAT CHORUS 2X)
