Chorus:
DmDm             FF
Learn this lesson well, my friend
     C majorC           G+G
There's a time to rejoice and lament
DmDm            FF
Every season will find an end
     C majorC          G+G
All will fade and be made new again

Verse 1:
DmDm
Standing on the rocks of the railroad tracks
   FF
Feet calloused, eyes open, sun beats on my back
   C majorC               G+G
As I gaze upon the unseen winds
       DmDm
And they are wandering, whispering

Wisdom that's eternal
     FF
From the heart to the mind

To the hand to the journal
    C majorC
Now the kernel of the seeds in the cleft of the rock
    G+G
And it's watered by the winds
                DmDm
Having power to unlock and
               FF
Stop the clock of chronological logic

With its homogenized systems
             C majorC
That are dead and can't dodge it
                    G+G
Being deaf to the voice of the Almighty One
     DmDm
Spirit illumines the dark like a fire
       FF
Revealing the way that was hidden but is higher
       C majorC
Now we must travel on the wings

That will never grow tired
  G+G
Of searching the mysteries of God
    DmDm
I said Father the feathers of my wax wings
   FF
Fall away by the rising of the sun
       C majorC
And I have descended when I was undone
      G+G
And I will ascend when your Spirit comes
     DmDm
Because what's been done and overcome
             FF
Cannot be stopped by the power of any human
          C majorC
Like the number of sand we will stand

And we will fall, all
G+G
In the face of an eternal call
       DmDm
But those who call on His name

In the midst of the pain
    FF
In the guilt and the shame

And the world full of blame
      C majorC
And all the bloody stains

From the unjust gains
G+G
I learned all men suffer the same
    DmDm
Because we're wayward sons

And all our jokes betray
  FF
Our foolish hearts and our selfish ways
    C majorC
But if we would turn to the Father's grace
     G+G
We would never be the same
      DmDm
This is an unseen land of a devastated soul
          FF
That's prepared in contemplative silence
       C majorC
For the mighty working hand of an unseen Lord
      G+G
To come restore this land from its violence
    D MajorD      DmDm
I said walk another mile
FF
Stare across the fields of grain
C majorC                G+G
This is how the prophets train


Chorus: (2x)
 DmDm             FF
Learn this lesson well my friend
  C majorC              G+G
There's a time to rejoice and lament
  DmDm           FF
Every season will find an end
     C majorC           G+G
All will fade and be made new again
