The Power

Song byElton John
in AlbumDuets

I have sold myself through and through

I have walked in the darkness too

Felt a red sun, the living proof

Washed my hands in the honest truth

I have carried this weight time after time

I have bettered the dumb and the blind

I've seen dignity fail and colours run

Seen justice denied by the voice of a gun

And we walk, yes we walk

And we walk with the power every day

Never letting the light slip away

Reaching out, reaching in

Touching truth and touching skin

Never letting the light slip away

And we walk with the power every day

If my faith is a fire then burn baby burn

We've held fire long enough to learn

Heat beneath hope is a healing light

Kept alive by the flames of night

Walk tall in the power day after day

Never, never, never lose sight of the way

See the dawn come and the dusk hang

See the power rise from an open hand
