Verse 1:

N.C.
Distant hands in foreign lands
N.C.
Are turning hidden wheels
D/E               A/E
Causing things to come about
      Asus4/E          E
Which no one seems to feel
     D/E            A/E
All invisible from where we stand
        Asus4/E           E
The connections come to pass
     D/E                   A/E
And though too strange to comprehend
       Asus4/E         E           Bm7
They affect us nonetheless, yes

Chorus:

    E           Bm7        E   A
Once again a time of change
        C             G    Bm7
Oh the change makes music
                       E    Bm7
And the children will dance
E                        Bm7
See the pieces of the picture
     E              A
Rearrange themselves
     C               G              Bm7
It feels just like a symphony to me
                    E        Bm7   E   Am7
With nothing left to chance

Bridge:

                        D7sus4  D
Just look over your shoulder
     G  Am7  G/B   C         Bm7   E7
It's out of your hands, it's over   for now
A7
  Leave behind what you can
D7                     G  Am7  G/B  C
  You can always return

Verse 2:

     F#7      B7+5     E          Bm7
The rhythm remains unbroken, unspoken
     E             A
But loud and clear
        C       G    Bm         E  Bm7      E    Bm7  E
It's a slow vibration, migration

Chorus:

Bm7     E           Bm7   E                   Bm7
   Oh Mystery muse, how I hunger for an answer
E              Bm7     E                      Bm7
  Unsung song, how I long to play the changes
E                 Bm7       E                     Bm7
  Hidden rhythm, haven't I always been your dancer?
E                Bm7      E                   Bm7
  Sacred secrets of the meaning to my dreaming
   E      Bm7  E
Migration
Bm7    E      Bm7  E
   Migration
Bm7    E      Bm7  E
   Migration
