she waits for me at night   she waits for me in silence   she gives me all her tenderness   and takes away my pain   and so far she hasn't run   though i swear she's had her moments   she still believes in miracles    while others cry in vain   it's all about soul   it's all about faith and a deeper devotion   it's all about soul   'cause under the love is a stronger emotion   she's got to be strong   'cause so many things getting out of control   should drive her away   so why does she stay   it's all about soul   she turns to me sometimes    and she asks me what i'm dreaming   and i realize i must have gone   a million miles away   and i ask her how she knew   to reach out for me at that moment   and she smiles because it's understood   there are no words to say   it's all about soul   it's all about knowing what someone is feeling   the woman's got soul   the power of love and the power of healing   this life isn't fair   it's gonna get dark   it's gonna get cold   you've got to get tough, but that ain't enough   it's all about soul   there are people who have lost    every trace of human kindness   there are many who have fallen   there are some who still survive   she comes to me at night   and she tells me her desires   and she gives me all the love i need to keep my faith alive   it's all about soul   it's all about joy that comes out of sorrow   it's all about soul   who's standing now and who's standing tomorrow   you've got to be hard   hard as the rock in that old rock 'n' roll   but that's only part, you know in your heart   it's all about soul
