Lyrics

He called her heaven
She was as dark as the earth and clay
His mother said, "Don't do it, you're white, she's black,
"It's just not our way.".
She called him loverboy
He held the world in her eyes.
To her there was no other
His love made her realize.

Love has the power to hold
Love has the power to hold.
Hold us strong, hold us strong
Love has the power to hold

Mama sat son upon her knee.
Said,"Son, you listening to me?
"Hear my words, oh, hear my words,
"Believe what you know, not what you see.".
Father said, "Son, see these bars.
"See the man.
"I'm doing time with this here bottle.
"This thing is stronger than I am.".

Love has the power to hold.
Love has the power to hold.
Hold us strong, hold us strong,
Love has the power to hold.

Love has the power!
