♫ Verse 1:
       D
I have sailed across the ocean wide
Bm7
Walked upon the desert sand
Em                 D/F#          G   A
Watched the human spirit fly and fall
D
Wrestled with my demons deep
Bm7
Fought the devil hand to hand
G                                               A
Walked the road to easy street and gave it all away

♫ Verse 2:
       D
I have chased my rainbows, found my gold
Bm7
Buried deep beneath the words
Em             D/F#
I once heard a soldier pray
G             A
All I want is peace on earth
     D
I’ve brought a child into this world
  Bm7
I teach him to be free and strong
     G             D/F#           Em
I’ve but to look into his eyes to know


♫ Chorus:
A          D           F#m7
Love lives on, so they say
         G               D/F#       G            A
It's the one thing we cannot afford not to give away
           D            F#m7/C#
Love lives on, so it is told
G                    D/F#              Em
Worlds will rise and fall and come and go

Love lives on

♫ Verse 3:
       D
I have watched my brothers laid to rest
Bm7
Felt their blood rush through my veins
Em              D/F#
Carried on with no regrets
G                 A
Knew we’d someday meet again
     D
I’ve hit the bottom and bounced back
   Bm7
To only rise up twice as strong
    G
God only knows how I did that
              A
God only knows indeed


♫ Verse 4:
       D
I have looked into an old man’s heart
Bm7
Felt the kindness there within
Em             D/F#
Finally, did I realize
G             A
Beauty lies beneath the skin
     D
I’ve kissed the ground from which I came
    Bm7
And someday will return again
    G           D/F#           Em
For I am just a messenger, you know

Love lives on, so they say

It's the one thing we cannot afford not to give away
           D            F#m7/C#
Love lives on, so it is told
G                    D/F#              Em
Worlds will rise and fall and come and go
