We were strangers, starting out on a journey,
Never dreaming, what we'd have to go through.
Now here we are, I'm suddenly standing,
At the beginning with you.

No one told me, I was going to find you.
Unexpected, what you did to my heart.
When I lost hope, you were there to remind me,
This is the start.

And life is a road that I wanna keep going,
Love is a river, I wanna keep flowing.
Life is a road, now and forever, wonderful journey.
I'll be there when the world stops turning,
I'll be there when the storm is through.
In the end I wanna be standing,
At the beginning with you.

We were strangers, on a crazy adventure,
Never dreaming, how our dreams would come true.
Now here we stand, unafraid of the future,
At the beginning with you.

And life is a road that I wanna keep going,
Love is a river, I wanna keep flowing.
Life is a road, now and forever, wonderful journey.
I'll be there when the world stops turning,
I'll be there when the storm is through.
In the end I wanna be standing,
At the beginning with you.

Knew there was somebody, somewhere,
A new love in the dark.
Now I know my dream will live on,
I've been waiting so long,
Nothing's gonna tear us apart.

And life is a road that I wanna keep going,
Love is a river, I wanna keep flowing.
Life is a road, now and forever, wonderful journey.
I'll be there when the world stops turning,
I'll be there when the storm is through.
In the end I wanna be standing,
At the beginning with you.

Life is a road that I wanna keep going,
Love is a river, I wanna keep going on,
Starting out on a journey.
Life is a road that I wanna keep going,
Love is a river, I wanna keep flowing.
In the end I wanna be standing,
At the beginning with you.

    General Comment:While I love the actual meaning to this song, this song means a lot to me for an entirely different reason. It reminds me of my younger days as a little kid when Anastasia was one of my favorite movies. <3 I remember rewinding the end credits over and over again just so I could listen to this song.

    Even as a kid, I had a great taste in music. :)

    General Comment:This song means that she always wants to be standing with him just like the old days. How they fell in love when they were strangers and now they are close and always need each other in their lives. Never loose hope or give up I guess. Atleast this is what I thought.

    General Comment:There's this groovy gal out there called Jennifer n she suggested i listen to this song so maybe we could play it together one day~
    -THANKQ JENNIFER I LOVE THIS SONG! HOHOHO!! (^^)!!!
    What is means to me?.. *emMM..* to be honest, didnt think of that the 1st time i heard of it but got more obvious as i put it on repeat~ ^^
    The artists may have intended it to be interpreted as the "revival" of an old love~ i saw it as... an end of one and the begining of another~ =)
    which is pretty funky and made sense to me cuz.. *shrugz* in context maybe?
    anywayz!~ have a wonderful day everybardie!~ ^^!!
    (THIS SONG RULES!) V(^^)*waves*

    General Comment:I remember hearing either Richard Marx or Donna Lewis say that this song was about, how, in relationships, things are always great at the beginning and after a while, the initial "flare" is lost. This song was about wishing to preserve that "flare".
