    Default Secret Garden - Powered by Nature lyrics

    Hi everyone!

    Thanks for this wonderful forum, and for all the help given here by this beautiful community.

    I am trying to figure out the lyrics of the song "Powered by Nature" by Secret Garden which can be found here on YouTube:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5m8ZVSf8PI4 (live recording)
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vHH5G_SzGoI (studio recording)

    The second one seems much clearer to me, and I could understand almost everthing there, but there is one gap that still remains and which I am not sure about. It is the last line of this verse (1:47 - 2:05 on the studio version mentioned above):

    I’m powered by the ocean
    that calls my yearning heart
    to reach for the horizon
    far beyond afar (?)

    If anyone of you would like to help me, it would be tremendous.... and I would say a huge thank you!

    By the way, here are the full lyrics as I heard them:

    I’m powered by nature,
    weak, but strong I stand
    before the force of elements
    of this wild and wondrous land.

    I’m powered by nature,
    And the mystery it hides
    the rain and sun and circles
    a synthesis of light.

    I’m powered by the miracle
    of the newborn budding rose
    to see that spring of bloom
    and everything that grows.

    I’m powered by the forest
    walking in the green,
    where I can smell the earth
    and drink the water clear.

    I’m powered by rivers,
    running wild, running free
    from the highest mountain
    down to the deep-blue sea.

    I’m powered by the ocean
    that calls my yearning heart
    to reach for the horizon
    far beyond afar (?)

    I’m powered by snow
    that covers all in white
    and lets summer sleep
    and slumber through the night.

    I’m powered by darkness
    in the long winter night
    when I see a glimpse
    of the faring northern lights.

    I’m powered by stars
    on the endless sky
    light years from the earth,
    much closer when I fly.
    But even if I soar
    in poems and songs
    I must always return
    to where my heart belongs

    I’m powered by moonlight
    eternal ebb and flow
    the rhythm of the nature
    running through my blood

    I’m powered by the seasons
    winter, spring, summer, and fall
    the ever-changing colours
    and the beauty of them all.

    I’m powered by sun
    shining down on my
    and I am like a flower
    absorbing energy.

    I’m powered by wind
    blowing through my hair
    I’m breathing life,
    breathing clean, fresh air.

    I’m powered by mountains
    they let me feel so small,
    so I can seize the wonder
    and the greatness of it all.

    I know I’m not alone
    here on planet Earth
    I know I’m a part
    of that great universe.
    I know I’m a part
    of that great universe!

    I think you are correct on that line, but here are some corrections on others:

    I’m powered by nature,
    And the mystery it hides,
    The rain and sun encircles,
    A synthesis of light.

    I’m powered by the forest
    Walking in the green,
    Where I can smell the earth
    And drink the water clean.

    I’m powered by sun,
    Shining down on me,
    And I am like a flower,
    Absorbing energy.

    I’m powered by mountains,
    They make me feel so small,
    So I can seize the wonder,
    And the greatness of it all.
    Ρεμπέτικο για πάντα. Μάγκες είμαστε.
