Intro: Bb majorBb

  C majorC           G minorGm
A augmentedA heritage of vision was given to us all
   C majorC               G minorGm         FF
To smell the rose's fragrance, to hear the songbird's call
  FF         C majorC          FF       C majorC
To watch the distant moonlight fill, the coming of the tides
  FF        C majorC        FF        A minorAm G+G FF Bb7Bb7
To understand that life is more than always choosing sides

   C majorC                 G minorGm
And some have seen what can be seen of sailing ships and kings
   C majorC                G minorGm       FF
And some are given feet of clay and some are given wings
 FF         C majorC        FF          C majorC
Some must struggle just to breathe, some have a golden spoon
   FF        C majorC          FF        A minorAm G+G FF Bb7Bb7
And some will never leave the nest while some walk on the moon

   C majorC                   G minorGm
And don't you know the life that lives within the silent hills
  C majorC               G minorGm      FF
Is just as rich and beautiful and just as unfulfilled
  FF        C majorC        FF        C majorC
As man with all his intellect, his reason and his choice
   FF        C majorC       FF      A minorAm G+G FF Bb7Bb7
Oh, who's to say the nightingale has any less a voice

   C majorC                  G minorGm
The silver dolphins twist and dance and sing to one another
   C majorC                G minorGm          FF
The cosmic ocean knows no bounds for all that lives are brothers
   FF         C majorC        FF        C majorC
The whippoorwill, the grizzly bear, the elephant, the whale
   FF       C majorC       FF       A minorAm G+G FF Bb7Bb7
All children of the universe, all weavers of the tale

  C majorC              G minorGm
So palomino lie back down and dream yourself to sleep
   C majorC                   G minorGm
The hawk flies with the morning dove, the lion with the sheep
  FF      C majorC        FF     C majorC
As far away as you may go we'll never be apart
   FF          C majorC         FF       A minorAm G+G FF
