“Intervention” is track 7 on Madonna’s ninth studio album, American Life.
The song is an intimate dedication to her second son, Rocco Ritchie. It’s the second time she openly dedicates a song to one of her children after writing about her eldest daughter Lourdes in the song “Little Star”.
[Verse 1]
I got to save my baby
Because he makes me cry
I got to make him happy
I got to teach him how to fly
I want to take him higher
Way up like a bird in the sky
I got to calm him down now
I want to save his life
[Chorus]
And I know that love will change us forever
And I know that love will keep us together
And I know, I know there is nothing to fear
And I know that love will take us away from here
[Verse 2]
Sometimes it's such a pleasure
Sometimes I wanna tear it all down
It's easy to be lazy
And hard to go away from the crowd
[Pre-Chorus]
I know the road looks lonely
But that's just Satan's game
And either way, my baby
We'll never be the same
[Chorus]
And I know that love will change us forever
And I know that love will keep us together
And I know, I know there is nothing to fear
And I know that love will take us away from here
[Bridge]
In the blink of an eye, everything could change
Say hello to your life, now you're living
This is it from now on, it's a brand new day
It was time to wake up from this dream (From this dream)
[Pre-Chorus]
I know the road looks lonely
But that's just Satan's game
And either way, my baby
We'll never be the same
[Chorus]
And I know (And I know) that love (That love) will change us forever
And I know (And I know) that love (That love) will keep us together (That love, that love)
And I know (And I know) that love (That love) will change us forever
And I know (And I know) that love (That love) will keep us together
And I know (And I know), I know (I know) there is nothing to fear
And I know (And I know) that love (That love) will take us away from here
