The easy, fast & fun way to learn how to sing: 30DaySinger.com
I'll never know what brought me here As if somebody led my hand It seems I hardly had to steer My course was planned And destiny it guides us all And by its hand we rise and fall But only for a moment Time enough to catch our breath again And we're just another piece of the puzzle Just another part of the plan How one life touches the other It's so hard to understand Still we walk this road together We travel, go as far as we can And we have waited for this moment to die Ever since the world began Takin' in the times gone by We wonder how it all began We'll never know and still we try To understand And even though the seasons change The reasons shall remain the same It's love that keeps us holdin' on Till we can see the sun again And we're just another piece of the puzzle Just another part of the plan And we have waited for this moment to die Ever since the world began And I stand alone, a man of stone Against the driving rain And the night it's got your number And the wind it has your name And we settle dues Win or lose To whisper all the same The hope still burns eternal We're the keeper of the flame And we're just another piece of the puzzle Just another part of the plan How one life touches the other It's so hard to understand Still we walk this road together We travel, go as far as we can And we have waited for this moment to die Ever since the world began.
