The Elixir of Love

Somehow I've got to describe it
I never saw anything like it
I watched it like rain falling down
From heaven, from heaven

I caught some in the palms of my hands
And saw it was a marvelous wonder
It could do anything, it could heal anything
A heart, a body or a soul

It's the elixir of love, the elixir of love
It changes all that it touches
The elixir of love, the elixir of love
Creates new life, mends what's broken
It ends all the wars and brings peace to the lands
It'll stop the wind—just lift your hand
Just like a gentle mist rolling
That can be stopped by no man

I saw that in my hands I was holding
The most powerful force in the whole world
But it couldn't do anything for them
For these people who resist it

I lifted my eyes toward the world
And saw that in all kinds of places
It's in the hearts of loving people
It's the spirit and power of God's love

It's the elixir of love
The elixir of love
That changes all that it touches
The elixir of love, the elixir of love
Creates new life, saves the old ones
It ends all the wars and brings peace to the lands
It'll stop the wind, just lift your hand
Just like a gentle mist rolling
That can be stopped by no man

It's the elixir of love, the elixir of love
It changes all that it touches
The elixir of love, the elixir of love
