If you believed in love

This also appears as a ’live’ version on the compilation album “Forgotten Language of the Heart”.

If you believed in love
Then I could be the one
With the spirit flowing through
I could heal your heart in time

I could take your pain away
With the spirit in my hands
If you believed in love
If you believed in love
If you believed in me
If you believed in you

There’s a snake inside your heart
Spitting poison in your soul
There’s something eating at your mind
But I could make you whole

With the spirit flowing through
I could help you heal
‘Cos I believe in you
I believe in you
I believe in you
I believe in you

Long are the days
And many are the ways
Your spirit yearns to dance
Your spirit yearns to dance…

There are power spirits here
Who used to be with you
They want to be with you
They long to be with you

There are fragments of your soul
That you have left behind
If you believed in love
They’re not that hard to find
Not that hard to find
Not so hard to find

I can see you long ago
Before you fell apart
It was many moons ago
Before you broke your heart

You had to leave yourself
To try to make it through
You don’t remember me
But I remember you
Yes I remember you
I remember you

It’s a sentimental trick
To identify with light
The mandala of your soul
Is more than black and white

I’m not trying to rescue you
It’s not my fate, it’s yours
But I know what life is like
Behind twenty metal doors

If you believed in love
If you believed in love
If you believed in love
If you believed in love
