Lyrics

The Power is in the Kiss

The power is not in a top down ultimatum
It’s not in the angry raising of your fist
The power is not in your well defended position
Real power, purest power is in the kiss

The power is not in calling down heaven’s fire
On the ones we think are lower than ourselves
The power is not in having all we desire
Real power, purest power is in the kiss

chorus
It’s the kiss that heals It’s the kiss of peace
It’s the kiss that pardons, that puts the soul at ease
It’s the kiss of kindness for the wayward child
It’s the kiss of compassion, meek and mild

Verse 2
The power is not in having the most possessions
So that you can live in a constant state of bliss
The power is not in making the best impression
Real power, the purest power is in the kiss

bridge
It’s the power of love reaching across the great divide
Embracing the lonely ones on the other side
It’s the power of the peaceful dove
The power of an open door
The power of an outstretched hand
Giving help to the weak and poor
The power of real surrender, it’s the power of letting go
It’s the weakness of an earthen vessel,
Filled with power, purest power from above
