Am Am/B C Fmaj7 Am
I woke up, and on the wall I saw a light
Am Am/B C Fmaj7 Am
It looked just like a lake, but it scared me I don't know why
Am Am/B C Fmaj7 Am
And as I stared I saw things and it changed me
Am Am/B C Fmaj7 Am
But something wasn't right with the light was I still dreaming?

Am Am/B C Fmaj7 Am
So I got up and I walked over to this lake and I saw people on the other side
Am Am/B C Fmaj7 Am
It wasn't hard to tell they didn't look all that well so I called out 'cause I thought I could help
Am Am/B C Fmaj7 Am
But no one had eyes so they couldn't see and no one had ears so they couldn't hear me
Am Am/B C Fmaj7 Am
I felt the earth quake as a voice from the lake spoke these words and it instantly calmed me
