In this age of grand illusion you walked into my life out of my dreamsI don't need another change, still you forced away into my scheme of thingsYou say we're growing, growing heart and soulIn this age of grand illusion you walked into my life out of my dreamsSweet name, you're born once again for meSweet name, you're born once again for meOh sweet name, I call you again, you're born once again for meJust because I believe don't mean I don't think as wellDon't have to question everything in heaven or hellLord, I kneel and offer you my word on a wingAnd I'm trying hard to fit among your scheme of thingsIt's safer than a strange land, but I still care for myselfAnd I don't stand in my own lightLord, lord, my prayer flies like a word on a wingMy prayer flies like a word on a wingDoes my prayer fit in with your scheme of things?In this age of grand illusion you walked into my life out of my dreamsSweet name, you're born once again for mejust as long as I can see, I'll never stop this vision flowingI look twice and you're still flowingJust as long as I can walkI'll walk beside you, I'm alive in youSweet name, you're born once again for meAnd I'm ready to shape the scheme of thingsOoh, ready to shape the scheme of thingsOoh, ready to shape the scheme of thingsOoh, ready to shape the scheme of thingsOoh, ready to shape the scheme of thingsOoh, ready to shape the scheme of thingsOoh...Lord, I kneel and offer you my word on a wingAnd I'm trying hard to fit among your scheme of thingsIt's safer than a strange land, but I still care for myselfAnd I don't stand in my own lightLord, lord, my prayer flies like a word on a wingAnd I'm trying hard to fit among your scheme of thingsIt's safer than a strange land, but I still care for myselfAnd I don't stand in my own lightLord, lord, my prayer flies like a word on a wingMy prayer flies like a word on a wingDoes my prayer fit in with your scheme of things?
