The Afters

Forty-Two

The Afters


I came into this world 
To find a reason to live
I came with nothing to give
Nothing I could offer 
Nothing I could ever do
Before you set 
The stars up in the sky
You came and took me aside
You told me 
I was part of the plan
You told me I was yours

Will you tell me 
What this life is all about
Will you show me 
How to make my time here count
Will lead the way on 
To the other side
Because I want to feel alive

If I could only see 
Right to the end
I'd know just where to begin
I could put together 
All the little pieces
You carry the world 
You hold it in your hands
It's all a part of your plan
Show me how to love 
Won't you help me 
Find my way to you

Will you tell me 
What this life is all about
Will you show me 
How to make my time here count
Will lead the way on 
To the other side
Because I want to feel alive

There's a place for us
The perfect place for us
