Search through the years
And you wipe away the tears
To find a woman, not a girl
Just that feeling, like the beginning of the world

Beginning of the world

And your love flows down like a river
‘Til it reaches down to the sea
And it’s then you start to thinking
Will the water, will the water cover me?

Woman oh woman
Don’t bury me alive
Just make me feel I’ve the right to survive
Woman oh woman
I hope that you can see
This is nothing like our love was meant to be
Love was meant to be

You search through the years
And you wipe away the tears
To find a woman, not a girl
But a feeling, like the beginning of the world

Woman oh woman
Don’t bury me alive
Just make me feel I’ve the right to survive
Woman oh woman
I hope that you can see
This is nothing like our love was meant to be

Woman oh woman
Woman oh woman
Woman oh woman
Woman oh woman

Woman oh woman
Oh woman
