Forty-Two

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
