Above It All Lyrics

Lightning struck and killed that man

But left an echo

On a field that night just before dawn

No one dared to ask where did he walk

From dusk till gone?

But they all mourned him

And all lit candles that fall

With his uncle I spent the day he was beyond hope

But that old man he could stomach

All this and more

He said there the woman that he sought

Would need his life to pay that call

And his best man if only he could have known

You see someone up there high above it all

Sees it all and pulls the strings in this world

Puts it all in its place

Every good thing every wrong

The eyes of fate they see it all

Sometimes these words come back;

To me and I let go

This storm engulfs me the rats all leave their boat

But they don't worry me

As they return when days are warm

So we keep going sailing free like before

You see someone up there high above it all

Sees it all and pulls the strings in this world

Puts it all in its place

Every good thing every wrong

The eyes of fate they see it all

You break my heart like its a branch

Whenever you go

And when you're lonely

You'll find those few days for us

And me I had to bet it all

And forgive all my debts of old

Yeah maybe I'm crazy so why now worry at all?

You see someone up there high above it all

Sees it all and pulls the strings in this world

Puts it all in its place

Every good thing every wrong

The eyes of fate they see it all
