A augmentedA C# minorC#m BB FF BB A augmentedA

Verse:
A augmentedA      C# minorC#m
Oh great spirit
     BB
Show me a sign
 FF    BB      A augmentedA
I know you watch from above
               C# minorC#m
They say these feelings are passing
            BB
But lately I find emptiness
  FF    BB       A augmentedA
Whenever I’m searching for love
        C# minorC#m
Tell me there’s someone
         BB
Someone out there somewhere
  FF       BB        A augmentedA
Who aches for this world just like me
        C# minorC#m
Give me your guidance
            BB
I won’t take it for granted
   FF       BB    A augmentedA
Your land and your glorious sea

Verse 2:
         C# minorC#m
Waves they are crashing
         BB
Sweet and slow I hear them
  FF    BB    A augmentedA
And look up into the stars
     C# minorC#m
Soften my hardness
        BB
This rushing intensity
    FF    BB      A augmentedA
As this scorpion hides behind mars
        C# minorC#m
I don’t want a shortcut
        BB
I won’t take no handouts
      FF     BB     A augmentedA
I know this path won’t lead me astray
       C# minorC#m
I balance my heartbeat
       BB
Reach for my center
   FF   BB       A augmentedA
As a mantra builds within me

Verse 3:
      C# minorC#m        BB
I will not harm and I will surrender
   FF    BB     A augmentedA
Every thing deserves its time
      C# minorC#m        BB
Deep down inside I trust and remember
      FF       BB     A augmentedA
When better judgment ruled over these lies
          C# minorC#m          BB
If only we could forgive ourselves and our neighbors
   FF      BB    A augmentedA
Move forward with ease and grace
         C# minorC#m        BB
We’d see fierce warriors, everyday saviors
    FF     BB      A augmentedA
No separation, no borders, no race

Verse 4:
        C# minorC#m     BB
And with this prayer I am committed
  FF     BB        A augmentedA
To giving my life for this cause
      C# minorC#m           BB
I will not look down, laugh, or disparage
     FF    BB      A augmentedA
Those for their mistakes and flaws
     C# minorC#m           BB
Such imperfection is what makes us equal
  FF       BB     A augmentedA
No creature more high or below
        C# minorC#m
Lay down your weapons
       BB
Throw up your peace signs
    FF     BB     A augmentedA
Live a life more humble and slow

Verse 5:
      C# minorC#m          BB
And here we are and here we will remain
   FF     BB     A augmentedA
We’ll teach each other the way
      C# minorC#m         BB
And if you fall I’ll be there to catch you
   FF       BB      A augmentedA
And I hope you’ll do the same for me

A, C#m, B, F, B, A augmentedA
 FF       BB      A augmentedA
I hope you'll do the same for me
 C# minorC#m BB
Yeah yeah
 FF       BB      A augmentedA
I hope you'll do the same for me
