Verse 1
(D major) There are many ways (A major) (D major) of being
in this circle (G major) we call life (D major)
A wise man (A major) seek (D major) s an answer,
burns his (E minor) candle through the night (A minor) (A major)
(D major) Is a jewel just a pebble that
found a way to shine (G major)
Is a hero's blood more (D major) righteous
than a (E minor) hobo's sip of wine
(A minor) (A major)
Verse 2
(D major) Did I speak to you one morning on
some (G major) distant world away (D major)
Did you save me from an arrow,
did you (E minor) lay me in a grave (A major)
(D major) Were we brothers on a journey,
did you teach me how to run (G major)
Were we broken by the wa (D major) ters,
did I (E minor) lie you in the sun
(A major)

Verse 3
I (G major) dreamed you were a prophet (B minor)
(F sharp minor) in a meadow (D major)
I dreamed (G major) I was a moun (B minor) tain in (F sharp minor) the wind (D major)
I dreamed (G major) you knelt and touched (B minor)
me (F sharp minor) with a flower (D major)
I awoke (G major) with this: a flower (E minor) in my (A major) hand
Verse 4
(D major) I know that love is seeing
all the (G major) infinite in one (D major)
In the brother (Dsus4) hood of (D major) creatures; who the (E minor) father,
who the (A major) son
The (D major) vision of your goodness will
sustain me through the (G major) cold
Take my hand now to re (D major) member when
you (E minor) find (A major) yourself alone
Verse 5
And the spirit (D major) fills the darkness
of the heavens
(G major) It fills the endless yearning of the soul (D major)
(G major) It lives within a star (B minor)
too (F sharp minor) far to dream (D major) of
It (G major) lives within each part (B minor)
and (F sharp minor) is the (A major) whole
It's the fire (G major) (F sharp minor) and the (E minor) wings
that fly (A major) us home (D major) (G major)
Fly (A major) us (D major) home, (G major) fly (A major) us (D major) home
(G major) (D major)
