The Final Move Lyrics - Chris Rice

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 

Just when we think its 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 youre here my little girl 

Its 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 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 its almost over 

Love has the final move 

Love has the final move 

And paradise has up and flown away for now 

But hope still breathes and truth is always true 

And just when we think its almost over 

Love has the final move 

Love has the final move 

Something right went very wrong 

But love has been here all along 

Something right went very wrong 

But love has been here all along 

Something right went very wrong 

But love has been here all along 

Something right went very wrong 

But love has been here all along 

Something right went very wrong 

But love has been here all along
