  A minorAm    FF    C majorC G+G      A minorAm        FF  G+G
The moonlight it was dancing On the waves, out on the sea
  A minorAm    FF   C majorC G+G     A minorAm       E minorEm
The stars of heaven hovered In a shimmering galaxy
  FF          G+G    A minorAm       E minorEm
A augmentedA voice from down the ages So haunting in its song
   A minorAm    FF      C majorC  G+G    A minorAm    DmDm    A minorAm
These ancient stones will tell us Our love must make us strong


E minorEm A minorAm E minorEm

  A minorAm    FF     C majorC   G+G    A minorAm         FF  G+G
The breeze it wrapped around me As I stood there on the shore
  A minorAm    FF    C majorC G+G       A minorAm      E minorEm
And listened to this voice Like I've never heard before
  FF        G+G      A minorAm        E minorEm
Our battles they may find us No choice may ours to be
  A minorAm    FF   C majorC  G+G   A minorAm     DmDm   A minorAm
But hold the banner proudly The truth will set us free

E minorEm A minorAm E minorEm A minorAm E minorEm A minorAm E minorEm

  A minorAm    FF    C majorC    G+G     A minorAm     FF   G+G
My mind was called across the years Of rages and of strife
  A minorAm   FF   C majorC  G+G   A minorAm        E minorEm
Of all the human misery And all the waste of life
  FF          G+G       A minorAm       E minorEm
We wondered where our God was In the face of so much pain
 A minorAm    FF   C majorC   G+G    A minorAm    DmDm  A minorAm
I looked up to the stars above To find you once again

  A minorAm    FF    C majorC G+G     A minorAm       FF  G+G
We travelled the wide oceans Heard many call your name
   A minorAm     FF    C majorC  G+G   A minorAm         E minorEm
With sword and gun and hatred It all seemed much the same

Some used your name for glory Some used it for their gain

And as the warm wind carried Its song into the night
  A minorAm    FF    C majorC G+G   A minorAm       E minorEm
I closed my eyes and tarried Until the morning light
    FF      G+G         A minorAm         E minorEm
As the last star it shimmered And the new sun's day gave birth
    A minorAm    FF  C majorC G+G       A minorAm     DmDm   A minorAm
It was in this magic moment Came this prayer for mother earth


E minorEm A minorAm E minorEm

The moonlight it was dancing On the waves, out on the sea
