A C#m B F B A

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

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

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

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

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

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