Dancing on the crumbling precipice
   F
The rocks are coming loose just at the edge
     C        Am

Are we drowning? Are we dead?

Or was it all a dream?

The bombs are getting closer everyday

'That can never happen here' we used to say

Or was it all a dream?

G      F  Am         F   G
Are we not good enough? Are we not brave enough?

Is the violence in our nature just the image of our maker?

Verse 2:
 Am
To a pretty time and fate are we condemned
   F
Or maybe we're a book without an end
     C        Am
We're not stories, we're not actors

We're awake and in control
G         Am
And this is not a dream

Pre-Chorus:
  Am        F
So can we break this mold
       G        F
And set in motion something new
      Am    F
Forgetting what we know
        G
An evolution overdue
      F
Fight the current
      C
Pull the ripcord
   G
Get away!

Are we not good enough or was it all a dream?

Bridge:
G      F
We travel back
  G    Am
To what we take
Am      G
We need a storm
        F
Let's pray for rain now
  Am     F   G
To wash these roads away
G        F   G    Am
Let's get off track and wander far
Am       G     F
Same roads reducing destinations
   Am     F   G
Do nothing but show our heart
    F       Am
We're talking in our sleep
    G          F
And sleeping through our lives
   G      F          Am
We dream of the places where we never die
   F
We step from our shadows
   G     F  G
And into the light

Am      F  Am         F   G
Are we not good enough? Are we not brave enough?
     F        Am
To become something greater
      F      G
Than the violence in our nature?
      F    G          Am
