Lyrics
Strange how two worlds collide
In a single space and time.
Somehow, I lived my life
Never wondering how or why.
I didn?t care.
I didn?t stop to take the time.
Think now - the day we met.
You were only passing by.
Asking the way.
I couldn?t help but wonder why.
CHORUS
But you came to show me the way.
You came to show me the way.
And I could die today.
And now it?s clear to me.
Life is but a fleeting sigh.
So precious now.
Flowing like water through my hands.
CHORUS
