the power
Duet with Little Richard Music by Elton John Lyrics by Bernie Taupin Available on the album Duets I have sold myself through and through I have walked in the darkness too I've felt a red sun, the living proof Washed my hands in the honest truth I have carried this weight time after time I have bettered the dumb and the blind I've seen dignity fail and colors run Seen justice denied by the voice of a gun  And we walk, yes we walk And we walk with the power every day Never letting the light slip away  Reaching out, reaching in Touching truth and touching skin Never letting the light slip away And we walk with the power every day  If our faith is a fire then burn baby burn We've had fire long enough to learn Keeping me whole is a healing light Kept alive by the flames of night  Walk tall in the power day after day Never, never, never lose sight of the way See the dawn come and the dusk end.
