Power Lyrics by Kansas

Power

1986

Sometimes a smile can deceive the one who has made you promise
Suddenly you can't believe, the truth only leaves you cold
Sometimes the answers you fear are there on the face in the mirror
Something the world needs to hear but no one is even listening

(Power) It takes Power
(Power) It takes Power
To back up the things you say
(Power) It takes Power
(Power) It takes Power
To cut through the chains, break away

Fortune can wear a disguise Pride is a grand illusion
And when it's your name up in lights fate proves this one conclusion
Sometimes the answers you fear are there on the face in the mirror
Something the world needs to hear the truth only leaves you cold

(Power) It takes Power
(Power) It takes Power
To back up the things you say
(Power) It takes Power
(Power) It takes Power
To cut through the chains, break away
(Power) It takes Power
(Power) It takes Power
To bite back and not be afraid
(Power) It takes Power
(Power) It takes Power
To cut through the chains, break away

All that you see someday will be
Lost in the shadows of time
Mountains must fall Someday this all
Will be darkness where light used to shine

Sometimes a smile can deceive the one who has made you promise
Suddenly you can't believe, the truth only leaves you cold
Sometimes the answers you fear are there on the face in the mirror
Something the world needs to hear but no one is even listening

(Power) It takes Power
(Power) It takes Power
To back up the things you say
(Power) It takes Power
(Power) It takes Power
To cut through the chains, break away
(Power) It takes Power
(Power) It takes Power
To bite back and not be afraid
(Power) It takes Power
(Power) It takes Power
To cut through the chains, break away
(Power) It takes Power
(Power) It takes Power
(Power) It takes Power
(Power) It takes Power
(Power) It takes Power
(Power) It takes Power
