Intro: D MajorD

     D MajorD             G+G       D MajorD
There are many ways of being in this circle we call life
 D MajorD                 E minorEm         A7A7
A augmentedA wise man seeks an answer burns his candle through the night
   D MajorD            D7D7       G+G
Is a jewel just a pebble that found a way to shine
   G+G         D MajorD        E minorEm      A7A7
Is an hero's blood more righteous than a hobo's sip of wine

   D MajorD                G+G       D MajorD
Did I speak to you one morning on some distant world away
    D MajorD               E minorEm     A7A7
Did you save me from an arrow, did you lay me in a grave
    D MajorD               D7D7       G+G
Were we brothers on a journey, did you teach me how to run
    G+G       D MajorD       E minorEm       A7A7
Were we broken by the waters, did I lie you in the sun

 G+G         B minorBm   F#m/C#F#m/C#  D MajorD    D MajorD
I dreamed you were a prophet in  the meadow
 G+G        B minorBm    F#m/C#F#m/C#  D MajorD    D7D7
I dreamed I was a mountain in  the wind
 G+G           B minorBm     F#m/C#F#m/C#  D MajorD   D MajorD
I dreamed you knelt and touched me with  a flower
 G+G         E minorEm      A7A7  A7A7
I awoke with this a flower in my hand

 D MajorD                G+G      D MajorD
I know that love is seeing all the infinite in one
    D MajorD                E minorEm       A7A7
In the brotherhood of creatures who the father who the son
  D MajorD              D7D7           G+G
The vision of your goodness will sustain me through the cold
    G+G       D MajorD        E minorEm      A7A7
Take my hand now to remember when you find yourself alone,

       A7A7      D MajorD
You're never alone and the spirit fills the darkness of the heavens
  G+G                 D MajorD  D7D7
It fills the endless yearning of the soul
  G+G       B minorBm    F#m/C#F#m/C#   D MajorD     D MajorD
It lives within a star too far   to dream of,
  G+G         B minorBm    F#m/C#F#m/C#   A7A7
It lives within each part and is   the whole
    G+G  F# minorF#m   E minorEm     A7A7   D MajorD   G+G
It's a fire and the wings that fly us home,
