Intro:
C   C 

Verse 1:  
   C            F       C
Lost       on a painted sky,
          F          C            F      C
where the clouds are hung for the poet’s eye,
F                       C
    you may find him,       if you may find him.

 Verse 2:
    C      F       C
There on a distant shore  
       F        C                        F    C
by the wings of dreams,       through an open door,
F                           G      G7
    you may know him,       if you may.
 
Chorus:
 C
Be, as a page that aches for a word,
                  F                 C
which speaks on a theme that is timeless
                     F             C
and the one God will make for your day.
  C                            F               C
Sing, as a song in search of a voice that is silent,
                     Dm            C
and the sun God will make for your way.

Verse 3: 
       C                  F         C
And we danced        to a whispered voice,   
    F            C          F           C
overheard by the soul, undertook by the heart,  
F                      C
    you may know it,       if you may know it.

Verse 4:
          C                 F        C
While the sand      would become the stone,
        F       C                F      C
which begat the spark, turned to living bone,
F                   G            G7
    holy holy,        sanctus sanctus.
 
 Chorus:
 C
Be, as a page that aches for a word,
                  F                 C
which speaks on a theme that is timeless
                     F             C
and the one God will make for your day.
  C                            F               C
Sing, as a song in search of a voice that is silent,
                     Dm            C
and the sun God will make for your way.
