Act of Love
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Sweet angel, call out
Don't wanna speak to no fool
Time to get under the spotlight
Time to ignore every rule
Then it came from above
An act of love
It was an act of love
Then it came from above
An act of love
It was an act of love
I had a white hot fever, head in my hands
I was a born believer, head full of plans
Tell you, still I wanna tell you
Faith is my weapon, love is my shield
Have nothing to lose, so much to reveal
Tell you, still I wanna tell you
It was an act of love
We wеre there in thе good times
We walked on through the bad
We still shone when the lights went out
Tell you now, still I wanna tell you now
I had a white hot fever, head in my hands
I was a born believer, head full of plans
Tell you, still I wanna tell you
Faith is my weapon, love is my shield
Have nothing to lose, so much to reveal
A white hot fever, I'm still a born believer
It was an act of love
Tell you now, still I wanna tell you now
Tell you now, came in from above
Tell you now, still I wanna tell you now
Tell you now, came in from above
It was an act of love
Faith is my weapon, love is my shield
Got nothing to lose, so much to reveal
It was an act of love
Faith is my weapon, love is my shield
Got nothing to lose, so much to reveal
It was an act of love
I was a born believer
It was an act of love
