Verse 1
Bm 
D 
Bm 
D 
In
echoed steps I walked across an empty dream
I looked across this world,
C 
Bm 
there was no one to be seen
D 
This empty feeling turned and
Bm 
D 
quietly walked away
I saw no warmth in life,
G 
Gm 
no love was in my eyes
D 
I stared a century thinking
Bm 
D 
this will never change
As I hesitated,
C 
Bm 
time rushed onwards without me
D 
Too scared to break the spell,
Bm 
D 
too small to take a fall
But the absolute luck is,
Gm 
love is in our hearts!
A

across an empty dream
But look around this world,
C 
Bm 
there's millions to be seen
D 
Come see the tyrants panic,
Bm 
see their crumbling empires fall
D 
Then tell 'em we don't fight for fools
Gm 
'cause love is in our hearts!
