I fear that I'm ordinary, just like everyone
To lie here and die among the sorrows
Adrift among the days

For everything I ever said
And everything I've ever done is gone and dead
As all things must surely have to end

And great lovers will one day have to part
I know that I am meant for this world
My life has been extraordinary

Blessed and cursed and won
Time heals but I'm forever broken
By and by the way...

Have you ever heard the words
I'm singing in these songs?
It's for the girl I've loved all along

Can a taste of love be so wrong
As all things must surely have to end
And great lovers will one day have to part

I know that I am meant for this world
And in my mind as I was floating
Far above the clouds

Some children laughed I'd fall for certain
For thinking that I'd last forever
But I knew exactly where I was


And I knew the meaning of it all
And I knew the distance to the sun

And I knew the echo that is love
And I knew the secrets in your spires
And I knew the emptiness of youth

And I knew the solitude of heart
And I knew the murmurs of the soul
And the world is drawn into your hands

And the world is etched upon your heart
And the world so hard to understand
Is the world you can't live without

And I knew the silence of the world
