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
