"POWERS THAT BE"
©1994 words & music EVERBLUE MUSIC CO. & ESOTAËRIC MUSIC"I used to know someone, who when he first saw the love of his life said: "I'm gonna marry that girl!" But after a few years, he started taking her for granted. When she said it was over he was devastated, & I happened to be working on this song. Destiny can be just as fleeting in it's gains & losses."
THOUGHT I HAD A TRUE LOVE, UNTIL THE LIGHT OF DAY
TURNED MY EYES AN INSTANT & THE VISION FLEW AWAY
HAUNTED BY THE SPECTRE, OF WHAT I THOUGHT WOULD BE
I CURSE THE FATES, THAT TURN THE WHEELS, OF DESTINYOH & THE DAYS & NIGHTS ARE LONG, WAITING FOR REPLIES...
chorus...
GIVE ME AN ANSWER, WON'T YOU PLEASE
GIVE ME AN ANSWER, POWERS THAT BE
A LONELY HEART, WAITS IN NEED
GIVE ME AN ANSWER, POWERS THAT BE
THOUGHT TO FIND A TRUE LOVE, WAY ACROSS THE WAVES
BUT SORROW ONLY FOLLOWS, WHAT FALLS UPON THE WAY
AN EMPTY HEART CAN LISTEN, ONLY TO ITS DREAMS
A ONE TRUE LOVE, CAN SOMETIMES BE, NOT IT SEEMSTHE DISTANCE ONLY ADDS UNTO, MY ETERNITY...
