Love Is In My Soul

(album: Elegant Slumming - 1993)

The world can beat me black 'n' blue
It can hurt so much it's just not true
Down and out and down at heel
But it sure can't change the way I feel
I feel a strength so deep within
A love to wash away the sin
Like the sound of the sea deep within a shell
To make your heaven when all around is hell

All manner of things can make me sing
But love is in my soul, love is in my soul
All manner of things can make me sing but love is in my soul

The tension grows and clouds your eyes
The swim upstream the bridge of sighs
The stone cold walls and the metal jam
The ugly roar of the dying man
All these things that bring you down
Mean nothing more than a laughing clown
If you lift up your soul be strong be proud
You'll never be just another face in the crowd

All manner of things can make me sing
But love is in my soul, love is in my soul
All manner of things can make me sing but love is in my soul
