Song Pattern:

-------------
*Part A*

  There is not a river wide

*Part B*
  Not a mountain high

*PART A* (play 4 times)
  And neither sin nor evil
  Could change how I feel inside
  Could change how I feel inside
  Not all the strength of the ocean

*PART B*
  Not all the heat from the sun, from the sun

*PART C*
  No others have tried, I just can't deny

*PART A* (play twice)
  For me you are the one
  For me you are the one

*PART D* (play twice)
  But true love is priceless
  For true love we pay a price

*PART E*
  But there's nothing can keep me from loving you
  not fire, no not ice
  not fire, no not ice

*PART A*
  Like a hero or the champion

*PART B*
  You are the best, you're the best

*PART A* (play four times)
  Like religion or superstition
  With you I am blessed
  With you I am blessed
  Now the river may grow wider

*PART B*
  The mountains may reach past the sky

*PART C*
  And wether or not you feel same

*PART A* (play twice)
  My love shall never die
  My love shall never die

*PART D* (play twice)
  But true love is give and take
  True love is sacrifice

*PART E*
But there's nothing can keep me from loving you
Not fire no not ice
Not fire no not ice
