The Final Move Lyrics

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, ohHe 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 believeIt 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 galaxyAnd 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 moveHeard 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 believeIt 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 galaxyAnd 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 moveAnd 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 moveSomething right went very wrong
But love has been here all along
Something right went very wrong
But love has been here all alongSomething right went very wrong
But love has been here all along
Something right went very wrong
But love has been here all alongSomething right went very wrong
But love has been here all along
