Verse 1:
C majorC
The turning earth will raise its wand
C majorC G7G7
And bring the seasons to their fruitful end
G7G7
And little men and trains will crawl
G7G7 C majorC
And snake their way around the timeless bend
C majorC
And rivers, too, will course their way
C majorC G7G7
To find the hungry Mother Sea at last
G7G7 C majorC
And love will grow - it will come to pass
Verse 2:
C majorC
The sun will blaze its scorching path
C majorC G7G7
Across the sky a million times or more
G7G7
And men with charts will scan the skies
G7G7 C majorC
In quest of life on some forgotten shore
C majorC
And in the quiet womb the sleeping seed
C majorC G7G7
Will stretch its arms and grow at last
G7G7 C majorC
And love will grow - it will come to pass
Bridge:
G7G7 C majorC FF
It will come to pass
Verse 3:
C majorC
Though men and minds and times will change
C majorC G7G7
Still pinioned they by fears of growing old
G7G7
Though scalpeled hands will plumb the deepest corners
C majorC
None will find the soul
C majorC
Yet bearded men in sandwich boards
C majorC G7G7
Will tell the sinful streets "He's Come At Last"
G7G7 C majorC
And love will grow, it will come to pass
