"Superlover" lyrics
(feat. Annie Lennox)
(originally by Birds of Chicago)
Tears of rage, tears of grief
Palestine, Israel to Tennessee
We need a superlove
Need a superlover
Double Dutch and hula hoops
All our fears in loops and loops
We need a superlove
Need a superlover
The night so cold
Who among us dreams the dawn?
Who dreamt us and oh where have they gone?
Who keeps a candle lit for their return?
Who could count the flowers in your heart?
"Please, let me die before my child"
Prayed every mother far and wide
That's a superlove
I'm a superlover
You can feel it near and far
It fades the moon and blinds the stars
That's a superlove
We are superlovers
The night so cold
Who among us dreams the dawn?
Who dreamt us and oh where have they gone?
Who keeps a candle lit for their return?
Who could count the flowers in your heart?
Believe what you will believe
They're gonna tell you it's naive
To be a superlover
But we are superlovers
There's no God of fire and blood
If there's a God, then God is love
We need a superlove
We can be superlovers
The night so cold
Who among us dreams the dawn?
Who dreamt us and oh where have they gone?
Who keeps a candle lit for their return?
Who could count the flowers in your heart?
Tears of rage, tears of grief
Palestine, Israel to Tennessee
Tears of rage, tears of grief
Sudan, Congo to Haiti
We need a superlove
We can be superlovers
Palestine, Israel to Tennessee
We need a superlove
Need a superlover
Double Dutch and hula hoops
All our fears in loops and loops
We need a superlove
Need a superlover
The night so cold
Who among us dreams the dawn?
Who dreamt us and oh where have they gone?
Who keeps a candle lit for their return?
Who could count the flowers in your heart?
"Please, let me die before my child"
Prayed every mother far and wide
That's a superlove
I'm a superlover
You can feel it near and far
It fades the moon and blinds the stars
That's a superlove
We are superlovers
The night so cold
Who among us dreams the dawn?
Who dreamt us and oh where have they gone?
Who keeps a candle lit for their return?
Who could count the flowers in your heart?
Believe what you will believe
They're gonna tell you it's naive
To be a superlover
But we are superlovers
There's no God of fire and blood
If there's a God, then God is love
We need a superlove
We can be superlovers
The night so cold
Who among us dreams the dawn?
Who dreamt us and oh where have they gone?
Who keeps a candle lit for their return?
Who could count the flowers in your heart?
Tears of rage, tears of grief
Palestine, Israel to Tennessee
Tears of rage, tears of grief
Sudan, Congo to Haiti
We need a superlove
We can be superlovers
