Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
At this moment words fail me And my vision's unclear Blind to the truth Like hands reaching out in the darkness [Chorus] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Chorus] 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
