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.
