When she turned away
You know it was just in time
‘Cause I’d used up all my strength
And you can’t let a woman see you cryin’
And you know it’s real
She’s not gonna change her mind
You chose not to change your ways
Though she begged you a thousand times
And you don’t understand
And you want to be a man about it
In time you’ll learn to live without it
And you know that you’ll survive but still sometimes you doubt it
If you can stand a little rain
You’re gonna grow again
‘Cause you know that when love dies
The heart survives
You stare at the empty walls
Inside of this vacant home
You walk through these hollow halls
And at night you sleep alone
And you don’t understand
And you want to be a man about it
In time you’ll learn to live without it
And you know that you’ll survive but still sometimes you doubt it
If you can stand a little rain
You’re gonna grow again
‘Cause you know that when love dies
The heart survives, yes it does
You’ve been over it so many times in your head
Looking for a hidden message of hope in something she said
Still you find nothing to make this bad dream end
Tell me, how many sleepless nights will you spend?
If you can stand a little rain
You’re gonna grow again, oh yeah
‘Cause you know that when love dies
The heart survives, yes it does
If you can stand a little rain
You’re gonna grow again, yeah you’re gonna grow again
‘Cause you know that when love dies
The heart survives
If you can stand a little rain
You’re gonna grow again, oh yes you will
‘Cause you know that when love dies

Live it up and let it go
Your time is up before you know
In a world full of wonder
Don’t let your troubles pull you under
You’re telling me your life is tough
And what you need is stronger stuff
Well, you can live under sedation
Or get up and cause an overnight sensation
Woah, live it up
Life is what you make it
Woah, live it up
It’s right there for you to take it
You sit and watch your MTV
You dream away in a fantasy
If you don’t dig the situation
Then get a guitar and rock the nation
You can’t hold back once you light the fuse
And if it feels alright, then let it roll
You got nothin’ to lose
Woah, live it up
Life is what you make it
Woah, live it up
It’s right there for you to take it

All heaven broke loose
It hit me like a shot right out of the blue
All heaven broke loose
I was shaken by the power of love
Taken by the power of you
If I don’t get to heaven
For the things that I’ve done
I guess it’s all just history now
Too late to be the innocent one
I know that I’ve been led astray
Love has torn me apart
But each day is a victory now
Since you have given peace to my heart
Oh, I was a little bit crazy then
Wheels kept turnin’ around
And I kept losin ground
Till you stopped me from fallin’ again
All heaven broke loose
It hit me like a shot right out of the blue
All heaven broke loose
I was shaken by the power of love
I was shaken by the power of you
Now you’ve been my salvation
Been a love with no cost
Brought me to my senses again
Gave me back more than I’ve ever lost
So, baby if I loose my way
If temptation goes to my head
It’s only a twist in the road
There’s no way that I’ll be mislead
Oh, I was a little bit crazy then
But I’ll pay the price
For my fool’s paradise
Now I’ve just got to hold you again
All heaven broke loose
It hit me like a shot right out of the blue
All heaven broke loose
We were shaken by the power of love
Taken by the power
The love that you’ve given me
Is a love that is true
And each time I feel like running
I come running home to you, yeah
Oh, we were a little bit crazy then
All heaven broke loose
It hit me like a shot right out of the blue
All heaven broke loose
We were shaken by the power of love
All heaven broke loose
We couldn’t stop feelin’, no, no, no
All heaven broke loose
Oh no, no, no, no, no
All heaven broke loose
Taken by the power of you
It hit me like a shot right out of the blue
All heaven broke loose

I cannot bathe you in a river gone black
I cannot hold you in a poison rain
If I can’t see you through the air that we breathe
What will love in the future be?
I wanna watch my children laugh as they run
I wanna hold their children on my knee
And tell them stories of a vanishing sun
Of how it used to be
In my lover’s life I want to share
I want to see the world now through her eyes
And about everything she sees, I care
The time has come to rise
I cannot bathe you in a river gone black
I cannot hold you in a poison rain
If I can’t see you through the air that we breathe
What will love in the future be?
Will we make it a different story?
Is there love in the future for you and me?
We’re looking for answers in outer space
When will we discover the earth is a sacred place?
[Chorus]
