Can you hear me?--I am callin'--
Can you reach me?--I am fallin'--
Have I a heart?--I can't feel it--
Am I more than--a wind-blown spirit--

I gotta know--I gotta know--

The night's alive--pourin' into me--
I hear the call--of my destiny--
I don't know how--to take it slow--
I only hope--I arrive with my soul--

I gotta know--I gotta know--

I gotta know--who am I--
I gotta know--where I am--
I gotta know--why I am-----

I gotta know--I gotta know--

(instrumental bridge)

You're a solitary spirit
in a dark and empty room.
Walled away into yesterday
like a wraith within tomb.
The curtain calls you forth again,
but your soul's a dimming light.
You've one foot in the universe
and one that's lost to sight

You need love--love has the power--
You need love--love has the power--
you need love--love has the power--you need----

Round and round and round you go.
When you'll stop, no one knows.
All you've got is the night to hold
Where's the fire in your soul?

You need love--love has the power--
You need love--love has the power--
You need love--love has the power--you need----

The lid is lifted--the key is wound
The music box-- plays intothe night--
When you give your heart--
in time to the dance--
Love has the power to summon--
the light--

You need love--love has the power--
You need love--love has the power--
You need love--love has the power--you need----

(Instrumental bridge)

There's something in the air
eyes in the night
steps in the shadows
just beyond the light
A scent of danger,
a price to pay
for hiding the love
you oughta give away.

Reaching for a dream
taking a chance
you join the spirits
beginning to dance
As they feed the fire,
one heart at a time,
desire brings what you
never thought to find.

Passion has awakened
and your elation--
comes from some place real
when love is the pain you feel--
closin' in for the kill--
closin' in--
for the kill--
