The Final Move

Saw an old guy today

Staring long at a chess game

Looked like it was half-played

Then his tear splashed

Between the bishop and the king oh

He turned his face to mine

I saw the question in his eyes

I shrugged him half a smile and walked away

It made me sad and it made me think

And now it makes me sing what I believe

It was love that set this fragile planet rolling

Tilting at our perfect twenty-three

Molecules and men infused with holy

Finding our way around the galaxy

And paradise has up and flown away for now

But hope still breathes and truth is always true

Just when we think its almost over

Love has the final move

Love has the final move

Heard a young girl sing a song

To her daughter in her pale arms

Walking through a rainstorm

"Because youre here my little girl

Its gonna be a better world oh"

She turned her face to mine

I saw the answer in her eyes

I shrugged her half a smile and walked away

It made me smile and it made me think

And now it makes me sing what I believe

I believe I believe

It was love that set this fragile planet rolling

Tilting at our perfect twenty-three

Molecules and men infused with holy

Finding our way around the galaxy

And paradise has up and flown away for now

But hope still breathes and truth is always true

And just when we think its almost over

Love has the final move

Love has the final move

And paradise has up and flown away for now

But hope still breathes and truth is always true

And just when we think its almost over

Love has the final move

Love has the final move

Something right went very wrong

But love has been here all along

Something right went very wrong

But love has been here all along

Something right went very wrong

But love has been here all along

Something right went very wrong

But love has been here all along

Something right went very wrong

But love has been here all along
