Saw an old guy today Staring long at a chess game Looked like it was half-played Then his tear splashed between The bishop and the king, oh He turned his face to mine I saw the question in his eyes I shrugged him half a smile and walked away It made me sad, and it made me think And now it makes me sing what I believe It was love that set this fragile planet rolling Tilting at our perfect twenty-three Molecules and men infused with holy Finding our way around the galaxy And paradise has up and flown away for now But hope still breathes and truth is always true And just when we think it's almost over Love has the final move Love has the final move Heard a young girl sing a song To her daughter in her pale arms Walking through a rainstorm Because you're here my little girl It's gonna be a better world, oh She turned her face to mine I saw the answer in her eyes I shrugged her half a smile and walked away It made me smile, and it made me think And now it makes me sing what I believe I believe, I believe It was love that set our fragile planet rolling Tilting at our perfect twenty-three Molecules and men infused with holy Finding our way around the galaxy Oh, and paradise has up and flown away for now But hope still breathes and truth is always true And just when we think it's almost over Love has the final move Love has the final move
