Lyrics – Coloursøund 1999 Album release version
From the solar skies our love collides
In and out of time only you and I
The sun will rise from low to high
For the love of the loved the love of the lost the love of the lonely
For the love of the weak the love of the strong the love of the only ones
For the love of
Speak with your eyes beyond the silence
Liberate my mind see with what you feel
The sun will rise from low to high
For the love of the loved the love of the lost the love of the lonely
For the love of the gone the love of the wrong the love of the golden ones
For the love of the loved the love of the lost the love of the lonely
For the love of the free the love of the peace the love of the seeker
For the love of
For the love of
For the love of the loved the love of the lost the love of the lonely
For the love of the right the love of the wrong the love of the real ones
For the love of the loved the love of the lost the love of the lonely
For the love of the free the love of the peace the love of the seeker
For the love of
For the love of
