"Conquered"

[ocelot]

Conquered

Tell me, tell me how you knew about my heart
You see, see the things that no one else could see
I thought, I was doing fine until you turn my life around
With everything you'd found
Deep inside I thought that I had died

(You make me believe) When I thought that love was gone, all gone
(You make me believe) And you prove that love was strong, so strong
(You make me believe) 'Cause you touch inside of me
Something I would never have believed
Until
Until you conquered me

You say, you can see our future
In my eyes
You say, you can break the chain that always ties me down
Teach me how to fly again
You make my life complete
The love you give to me
Deep inside I know that this is right

'Cause you make me believe
(You make me believe) When I thought that love was gone, all gone
(You make me believe) And you prove that love was strong, so strong
(You make me believe) 'Cause you touch inside of me
Something I would never have believed
Until
Until you conquered me

I was lost
I thought I would always be alone
I thought I could make it on my own
But you...
Changed my life
Now...
Everything I thought my life could be
Changed the day you conquered me

(You make me believe)
(You make me believe) When I thought that love was gone, all gone
(You make me believe) And you prove that love was strong, so strong
(You make me believe) 'Cause you touch inside of me
Something I would never have believed
Until
Until you conquered me

(When I thought that love was gone, all gone)
When I thought that love was gone
(And you prove that love was strong, so strong)
And you prove that love was strong
(Cause you touch inside of me)
'Cause you touch inside of me
(Something I would never have believed)
Something I would have never believed
Until you conquered me
(When I thought that love was gone, all gone)
When I thought that love was gone
(And you prove that love was strong, so strong)
And you prove that love was strong., strong
(Cause you touch inside of me)
'Cause you touch inside of me

I remember when I first heard this song, it immediately reminded me of my relationship with God. I thought I could make it on my own, but He made me realize that I wasn't really living.

I think for alot of people there's someone that makes you realize something about yourself that you never really know about yourself and in the end that person conquers a part of your life and you are a better person for that.

I really like how this song is written. It can be a tribute to a friend, the person you have fallen in love with, God, or anyone who has conquered you with love (not only the romantic kind). With Lara's voice it is a very powerful song.

Yeah, I agree with everything you say, Leona. That is exactly why "Shadowlands" and "Good Will Hunting" are two of my favorite films. They are both about people who came into another person's life and completely shattered long held barriers that existed in them. I think "Conquered" is a great word for it! And you are right about Lara's voice making it so powerful. She really digs deep in her belly on this one, and you can tell how authentic it is with her.
