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, yeah
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
(Superpower)
A subtle power (superpower)
A tough love (superpower)
Oh, like a shark (superpower)
Ooh, like a bear, a tough love
And I thought the world would revolve
I thought the world would revolve
Without us, without us, without us, withou us
But nothing I know could slow us down
It couldn't slow us down
And I thought I could live without you
Hey, hey
'Cause nothing I know can break us down
They can't break us down
And just like you, I can't be scared
And 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 (superpower)
The laws of the world tell us what goes sky and what falls
It's a superpower (superpower)
The laws of the world never stopped us once
'Cause together we got plenty superpower
(Superpower)
A subtle power (superpower)
A tough love (superpower)
Oh, like a shark (superpower)
Ooh, too much to bear (superpower)
And I thought the world would revolve
I thought the world would revolve
Without us, without us, without us, without us
But nothing I know could slow us down
They couldn't slow us down
And I thought I could live without you
But together we got plenty power
And nothing I know can break us down
They couldn't break us down
Yes, we can
Couldn't break us down
They couldn't break us down
Yes we can
Couldn't break us down
They couldn't break us down
Yes, we can
Couldn't break us down (we can make it, baby)
They couldn't break us down
Yes, we can
Couldn't break us down
They couldn't break us down
