A long time ago, from the valley of the sun
Came the holy power, when the gods were one
Searching for a new home, searching for this land
Guided by the stars, and a vision they had seen
The pillars of the temple, in these hills of green
Buried deep inside for only us to find

It is the roar of the wind, the power of the sun
The strength of a thousand bows
And those who near it again, will fear it again
And it's here in the heart of the rose

Painted in the sky was the moment to awake
All that lay within you, as this dawn should break
With this force awoken, none can stand before
This is the hour, now is the time
Driven by the purest love, I give you mine
All that we must be, is everything we see

It is the roar of the wind, the power of the sun
The strength of a thousand bows
And those who near it again, will fear it again
And it's here in the heart of the rose
It is the trees in the earth, it is the rivers that run
And through us this secret flows
And now our destiny calls, you'll remember it all
And it's here in the heart of the rose

Our love, has brought us both together
And it's our love that will go on forever
There is no love that can become as one before it's time

It is the roar of the wind, the power of the sun
The strength of a thousand bows
And those who near it again, will fear it again
And it's here in the heart of the rose
It is the trees in the earth, it is the rivers that run
And through us this secret flows
And now our destiny calls, you'll remember it all
Our love for the heart of the rose

Air Supply

Air Supply are a soft rock duo formed in 1975. From 1980-1985 the band had a string of hits that charted well in the US, Canada, New Zealand and their homeland Australia.

After Graham Russell’s music was ignored by bandmates in two previous bands, he auditioned for and won a part as a chorus member in a Melbourne production of Jesus Christ Superstar. This is where he met and teamed up with Russell Hitchcock, who had missed the JCS auditions in Sydney – so he flew to Melbourne and landed a spot in the same chorus.

The two submitted a demo of two songs – “Love And Other Bruises” and “If You Knew Me” to CBS Records and got signed. The former went to #3 in Australia, so they assembled session musicians, released their self-titled debut album, and toured Australia.
