Bm                              D
   I know there's beauty in the burden. . .
         G                               D     A
And even on my darkest day that sun will shine

Ooh, but right now even though my heart is hurtin'. . .
G                          A
All is as it should be and everything will be alright

CHORUS 1:

         D                           A
Hide the sun to see the moon, hear a lie and know the truth

Grow a little wiser every day as you grow farther from your youth
Em          A                   D      A      Bm
Silence any melody that doesn't make a joyful sound

Even the bird with the broken wing sings from the ground



Verse 2:

Bm                               D

          G                                 D          A
That even castles made of stone will surely fall. . . apart
              G                            D
So, won't you come now and tell me to have no fear
        G                           A
Help me stand up on my own, help me heal this broken heart



CHORUS 2:

           D                                A
Close your eyes to hear the song, hold your tongue to speak your mind

See a little beauty every day though you may feel you're goin' blind
     Em       A                   D         A       Bm
Have faith in humanity that every lost soul will be found

Even the bird with the broken wing sings from the ground

Need to know you're not the only one who feels lost and lonely darlin'
                            Bm
