When the palm of my two hands hold each other That feels different From when your hands are in mine That's just the way it is And when my voice is screaming out to my own ears That feels different From when I hear yours Now that's just the way it is And when I'm standing in this mirror After all these years What I'm viewing is a little different From what your eyes show you I guess I didn't see myself before you Moving forward Super power A subtle power Super power A tough love Super power Like a shark Super power Like a bear A tough love And I thought the world would move on I thought the world would move on Without us, without us, without us But nothing I know could slow us down Couldn't tow us down I thought I could live without you 'Cause nothing I know can break us Down They can't break us down And just like you I can't be scared Just like you I hope I'm spared But it's tough love I know you feel it in the air Even the babies know it's there Tough love Super power The laws of the world tell us what goes sky And what falls It's a super power Super power The laws of the world never stopped us once 'Cause together we got plenty super power Super power A subtle power Super power A tough love Super power Like a shark Super power Too much to bare Super power And I thought the world would move on I thought the world would move on Without us, without us, without us But nothing I know could slow us down Couldn't tow us down I thought I could live without you But together we got plenty power Nothing I know can break us down They can't break us down Yes we can Couldn't break us down They couldn't break us down
