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   Walkin’ 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      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   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
