Meant to Be

When I grew up

I had big city dreams

I wondered if the Bible was wrong

What the hell were they teachin' me?

I was lost in thought

And I could not hide it

But the sun, it kept on rising

So I played along

But now that you're gone

And I write down this song

I don't believe

This is how it's meant to be

The church bells, they ring

You can hear the mourners sing

They still believe

This is how it's meant be

The wheels touch down

All I can see is your face

Amidst the noise of the lights

The last thing on my mind was my faith

And then the morning came

And the sun started rising

But I was missing my friend

So how do I carry on?

'Cause now that you're gone

And I write down this song

I don't believe

This is how it's meant to be

The church bells, they ring

You can hear the mourners sing

They still believe

This is how it's meant be

Like a mother bird crying out for its young

I will sing out loud with all the might in my lungs

'Cause now that you're gone

And I write down this song

I don't believe

This is how it's meant to be

The church bells, they ring

You can hear the mourners sing

They still believe

This is how it's meant be

How

Oh, how it's meant to be, yeah
