Just    again and rise

Beats that rain

Taken by the tunes

In hearts

           G
When they took his name

His works and robbed of pain

Of his own
         CM7        G
And his right to endure

     G      Gm      C
In fear of useless sun

I gave of any hallowed cross

Taken by the tunes

In hearts

Oh
I couldn't cry by design
        C
If I tried
