♫ Verse 1:
Em
High upon this hill
                   D
Lives a king and daughter
 Em
Can you hear their songs
                 D
Echo across the water?

♫ Verse 2:
      Em
They sing of times long past
                     D
When the world was quiet
    Em
Simplicity and beauty
                 Bm7
Reigned over the realms


♫ Pre-Chorus:
                   C
There was time to savor
               Em
There was time to spare
                 D
There was understanding
                     C
Among the people everywhere


♫ Chorus:
                    Em
That God was our creator
                              A
But without nature, we're no more
                             Em
Than seeds of promise and potential
                        A
Floating rootless as before
                            Em
Through the vast and empty spaces
                            A
Trapped in somewhere in between
                        Em
Conscious thought and dreaming
                    A
Projecting and perceiving


♫ Post-Chorus:
             C
Reality's a construct
            Em
Agreed upon by all
                 D
It's time to reawaken
                     C
And hear the spirit call


♫ Instrumental:
Em | Em | Em | Em |

♫ Verse 3:
 Em
Deep inside this forest
              D
Lies a fairy kingdom
 Em
Can you hear the bells
            D
Carried on the breeze?


♫ Verse 4:
      Em
They feel somewhat familiar
                     D
Like memories from childhood
   Em
A faint and distant calling
                   Bm7
Your senses are enthralled


♫ Pre-Chorus:
                           C
Your heart is filled with longing
                 Em
Grace permeates the air
                           D
Now the chiming starts subsiding
                    C
Until it's barely even there


♫ Chorus:
                           Em
Where it's gone you cannot follow
                           A
You are forced to look within
                           Em
There you find a crystal chamber
                        A
Now, the journey can begin
                     Em
There's a pyramid in Egypt
                            A
You have travelled there before
                    Em
See it now in your mind's eye
                     A
And walk toward the door


♫ Pre-Chorus:
                 C
Enter with your body
            Em
Enter with your soul
                      D
The world has been divided
                    C
Through you, it is made whole


♫ Chorus:
                    Em
That God was our creator
                         A
Without nature we're no more
                             Em
Than seeds of promise and potential
                        A
Floating rootless as before
                            Em
Through the vast and empty spaces
                         A
Trapped in somewhere in between
                        Em
Conscious thought and dreaming
                    A
Projecting and perceiving


♫ Post-Chorus:
             C
Reality's a construct
            Em
Agreed upon by all
                 D
It's time to reawaken
                     C
And hear the spirit call
