I never thought you would be the one I never thought you would be the sun In this worn out place In this dark and lonely space
I didn’t expect a second chance I never gave you a second glance I’m an empty man In a bitter, broken land
And you can see the face of God in everything It’s not the way I want it to be It’s not the way I planned it And you can see the face of God in everything It’s not the way I want it to be It’s not the way I planned it But it’s the way I feel
I never thought this would be your role I never thought you could save my soul With your flag unfurled In this cold and godless world
Nothing was further from my mind I’ve never been cruel, but I’m not kind It’s a ‘hard knock life’ It’s a one stop, one-way life
And you can see the face of God in everything It’s not the way I want it to be It’s not the way I planned it And you can see the face of God in everything It’s not the way I want it to be It’s not the way I planned it But it’s the way I feel
