Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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 gotta be strong
'Cause so many things gettin' outta control
Should drive her away
Why does she stay?
It's all about soul
[Verse 3]
She turns to me sometimes
And she asks me what I'm dreamin'
And I realize I must've 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
[Verse 4]
It's all about soul
It's all about knowing what someone is feelin'
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 gotta get tough, but that ain't enough
It's all about soul
[Verse 5]
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na, it's all about soul
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na, yes it is
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na, it's all about soul
(Na-na-na-na-na-na-na)
[Verse 6]
There are people who have lost
Every trace of human kindness
There are many who have fallen
There are some who still survive
As 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
[Verse 7]
It's all about soul
It's all about joy that comes outta sorrow
It's all about soul
Who's standin' now and who's standin' tomorrow
You've got to be hard
As hard as the rock in that old rock and roll
But that's only part
You know in your heart
It's all about soul
[Verse 8]
Oh
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na, it's all about soul
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na, yes it is
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na, all about soul
(Na-na-na-na-na-na-na) Yes it is
Yeah-yeah-yeah
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na, it's all about soul...
