I have sailed across the ocean wide

Wrestled with my demons deep

Buried deep beneath the words

I once heard a soldier pray

All I want is peace on earth
   D MajorD
I’ve brought a child into this world

I’ve but to look into his eyes to know

Felt their blood rush through my veins

Carried on with no regrets
G+G         A augmentedA
Knew we’d someday meet again
   D MajorD
I’ve hit the bottom and bounced back

To only rise up twice as strong

God only knows how I did that
       A augmentedA
God only knows indeed

Felt the kindness there within

Beauty lies beneath the skin

And someday will return again
