Lyrics[]
At this moment words fail me And my vision's unclear Blind to the truth Like hands reaching out in the darkness I can't stop the world from turning around Or the pull of the moon on the tide But I don't believe that we're in this alone I believe we're along for the ride I believe we're along for the ride Through the gift of surrender I'm embracing the fight Breaking the code There's clarity on the horizon I can't stop the world from turning around Or the pull of the moon on the tide But I don't believe that we're in this alone I believe we're along for the ride I believe we're along for the ride I will not live under a shadow of fear Never be crippled by chaos and doubt Fall prey to your madness I am not shattered Out of the ashes I rise Knowing that nothing is stronger than faith Finding hope in our hopeless lives I can't stop the world from turning around Or the pull of the moon on the tide But I don't believe that we're in this alone I believe we're along for the ride I can't stop the world from turning around Or the pull of the moon on the tide But I don't believe that we're in this alone I believe we're along for the ride I believe we're along for the ride I believe we're along for the ride
