Intro: G minorGm / Eb MajorEb FF / Bb majorBb FF Bb majorBb FF G minorGm FF Bb majorBb FF Bb majorBb FF

         G minorGm
Do you ever look around
turn your ear to the ground
      Eb MajorEb
show your face to the sky
   FF              Bb majorBb
on a night when the skies echo sounds
from inside of your mind
     FF
on the stage that you shone
         Bb majorBb    G minorGm   FF
where the sun did become you
   G minorGm
and move with your thoughts
through the sighs and the scenes
     FF
of the worlds you have seen
and the sights that have been
    Bb majorBb                FF
your reflection in shadows and dreams?
                     Bb majorBb   FF
- your reflection in shadows and dreams

          G minorGm
Did you ever see a man
who did walk down the street
Eb MajorEb         FF
white robe with no shoes on his feet
    Bb majorBb
and on top of his head place a box with two slits
     FF
and the sign from his neck said
'I do not exist'

Bb majorBb / FF

   FF
or a woman who could not remember her name
   Eb MajorEb
did stutter and stutter
FF
again and again
   Bb majorBb
and saw you and called you her son
her eyes said
   FF
'my being is gone
but still I'm not dead'?

Bb majorBb / FF

G minorGm  Eb MajorEb FF

Have you ever seen a sound
have you listened to an image
have you ever touched a thought
have you ever tasted nothing
have you ever told a lie
that was true more than truth
because truth it had lied
all its life when it spoke to you?
And what did it say
it is that it is this
this goes here here is there
it is not yes it is
it was dulling your senses
your eyes they were bound
have you ever my friends
been looking around?

     G+G
And the other replies
with a wave of a hand
    Eb MajorEb
I am already here
      FF
in this promised land
   Bb majorBb
but not by a god and not by a king
   FF
and not by a spirit
Bb majorBb         FF
deep from within
    G minorGm
I am here
because a miracle's a whim
     FF
it's a flash of glory
it's an empty tin
   Eb MajorEb
and maybe might lets you in

Bb majorBb FF Bb majorBb
     FF
not to save you
but to keep on looking-

G minorGm  Eb MajorEb FF
Oh miserere
   Bb majorBb
Miserere
Eb MajorEb  FF
Miserere
   Bb majorBb
Miserere
   G minorGm Eb MajorEb FF
Miserere

Eb MajorEb FF  Bb majorBb
Oh miserere
Eb MajorEb  FF
Miserere

Eb MajorEb
Have you ever
     FF
been so happy that you're sad?
      Bb majorBb
that the lights turn to stars
     Eb MajorEb
and the stars become eyes
   FF
and hellos are goodbyes
and the laughs are the sighs
and the show disappears with the note
       Eb MajorEb
'until next time'

FF     Bb majorBb
Long live living
   Eb MajorEb      FF
if living can be this

Do you ever look around
              Bb majorBb
and find what is yet to be found?
