This Is How The Story Goes (feat. Rich Williams & David Ragsdale of Kansas)

And this is how the story goes
You must believe it all, my friend,
from the beginning to the end
'Cause everyone lives forever
We just have to choose where, my friend
And this is how the story goes
You must believe it all, my friend,
from the beginning to the end
'Cause everyone lives forever
We just have to choose where

I said, "Hey, brother, is there anything I can do
to make you feel better from the pain?"
They tell us we're all terminal, but I don't believe a thing they say
They're only words
Science and technology to help us numb the pain
But far beyond any science, there is one thing that I'm sure of

A Virgin had a Son
and a stone was rolled away
So how can we be terminal?
Because He lives today

Well, I've seen this all before, the same familiar faces
Everywhere I look, there's war in unfamiliar places
And do you ask yourself, "Will it ever end?"
When you put your faith in Him, my friend

What can save your life is an illusion
'till you finally come to one conclusion
Just one conclusion

It's only by your own admission
that you'll be healed by the Physician
They are not human hands that touch you
A willing heart and He will come through

And this is how the story goes
You must believe it all, my friend,
from the beginning to the end
'Cause everyone lives forever
We just have to choose where, my friend
And this is how the story goes
You must believe it all, my friend,
from the beginning to the end
'Cause everyone lives forever
We just have to choose where

'Cause the Virgin had a Son
and the stone was rolled away
So how can we be terminal?
Because He lives today

Now you lie here silent
You can't move, nor can you speak
I know that you feel helpless,
but your faith has not grown weak
You've overcome the darkness by the Blood of the Lamb, my friend
Now rise up from here
You are healed, no longer broken
No more pain and no more fear
I am a witness to Your miracle
I will tell them what I've seen

'Cause a Virgin had a Son
and a stone was rolled away
So how can we be terminal?
Because He lives today

Now the path is laid before you, don't trust your good intention
Use the map that's on your heart and trust in His direction
Then your legs grow weak and you feel you're done
Fix your mind upon the Risen One

What can save your life is an illusion
'till you finally come to one conclusion
Just one conclusion

And this is how the story goes
You must believe it all, my friend,
from the beginning to the end
'Cause everyone lives forever
We just have to choose where, my friend
And this is how the story goes
You must believe it all, my friend,
from the beginning to the end
'Cause everyone lives forever
We just have to choose where

'Cause a Virgin had a Son
and the stone was rolled away
So how can we be terminal?
Because He lives today

And this is how the story goes
You must believe it all, my friend,
from the beginning to the end
'Cause everyone lives forever
We just have to choose where
