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 risin'
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 to be

The wheels touchdown
All I can see is your face
Amidst the noise of those lights
The last thing on my mind was my faith

And then the morning came
And the sun started risin'
But I was missin' my friend
So, how do I carry on? (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 to be

Like a mother bird
Cryin' out for his young
I'll sing it 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 to be

Hey, ah-ah-ooh
Ho, how it's meant to be, yeah
