It took forever and a day for the canyons and coasts to erode away
E minorEm G6* Asus4Asus4 A augmentedA
By the weight of the ocean's cyclical motion they swayed
E minorEm G6* Asus2sus4 Aadd9Aadd9
And though the eons may pass as slow as the sands of an hourglass
E minorEm G6* Asus4* A augmentedA
Every grain that we've counted claims that even the mountains can change

Let it make in you a new river!

Well, it'll rain for forty days and nights, and nothing you do can slow the rising tides

And like her, you'll be made new again
