Ever Since the World Began

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
is so hard to understand.
Still we walk this road together.
We try and go as far as we can.
And we have waited for this moment in time
ever since the world began.

Taken in the times gone by
we wonder how it all began.
We 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 holding 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 in time
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 cries your name.

And we search for clues
win or lose,
in this we're 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
is so hard to understand
Still we walk this road together
We try to go as far as we can
And we have waited for this moment in time
ever since the world began.

The Search is Over

How can I convince you what you see is real?
Who am I to blame you for doubting what you feel?
I was always reachin', you were just a girl I knew
I took for granted the friend I have in you....

I was living for a dream, loving for a moment
Taking on the world, that was just my style
Now I look into your eyes
I can see forever, the search is over
You were with me all the while

Can we last forever? Do we fall apart?
At times it's so confusing, these questions of the heart
You followed me through changes and patiently you'd wait
Till I came to my senses through some miracle of fate

I was living for a dream, loving for a moment
Taking on the world, that was just my style
Now I look into your eyes
I can see forever, the search is over
You were with me all the while

Now the miles stretch out behind me
Loves that I have lost
Broken hearts lie victims of the game
Then good luck it finally struck
Like lightning from the blue
Every highway is leading me back to you

Now at last I hold you, now all is said and done
The search has come full circle
Our destinies are one
So if you ever loved me
Show me that you give a damn
You'll know for certain
The man I really am

I was living for a dream, loving for a moment
Taking on the world, that was just my style
Then I touched your hand, I could hear you whisper
The search is over, love was right before my eyes.
