Ever Since The World Begun
Survivors Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'll never know what brought me here
As if somebody led my hand
It seems I hardly had to steer
My course was planned

And destiny it guides us all
And by its hand we rise and fall
But only for a moment

Time enough to catch our breath again

And we're just another piece of the puzzle
Just another part of the plan
How one life touches the other
It's so hard to understand
Still we walk this road together
We travel, go as far as we can
And we have waited for this moment to die
Ever since the world began

Takin' in the times gone by
We wonder how it all began
We'll never know and still we try
To understand

And even though the seasons change
The reasons shall remain the same
It's love that keeps us holdin' on
Till we can see the sun again

And we're just another piece of the puzzle
Just another part of the plan
And we have waited for this moment to die
Ever since the world began

And I stand alone, a man of stone
Against the driving rain
And the night it's got your number
And the wind it has your name
And we settle dues
Win or lose
To whisper all the same
The hope still burns eternal
We're the keeper of the flame

And we're just another piece of the puzzle
Just another part of the plan
How one life touches the other
It's so hard to understand
Still we walk this road together
We travel, go as far as we can

And we have waited for this moment to die
Ever since the world began.

Till we can see the sun again
Until we are able to find hope and joy in life once more

And I stand alone, a man of stone
I am a solitary figure, seemingly unemotional and immovable

Against the driving rain
Confronting and enduring harsh circumstances that are beyond my control

And the night it's got your number
Feeling vulnerable and exposed in times of darkness and uncertainty

And the wind it has your name
Being subject to unpredictable external forces that affect our lives

And we settle dues
We must face the consequences of our actions and the debts we owe to others

Win or lose
Regardless of the outcome, we must continue on in our journey

To whisper all the same
To remind ourselves of our shared experiences and interconnectedness

The hope still burns eternal
Despite our struggles and hardships, we hold onto the possibility of a better future

We're the keeper of the flame
We hold onto hope and inspiration even in difficult times
