[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]Bm[/ch]\r\nCursed the skies, and wondered why [/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]G[/ch]\r\nThe gods invented pain. [/tab]\r\n\r\n[tab][ch]D[/ch]\r\nAching angry flesh and bone, [/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]A[/ch]\r\nBitterly she struck the stone [/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]Bm[/ch]\r\nTill she saw the sudden spark [/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]G[/ch]\r\nOf light, and golden flame. [/tab]\r\n\r\n[tab][ch]Bm[/ch]\r\nShe showed the others, but they told her [/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]G[/ch]\r\nShe was not fit to control [/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]D[/ch]\r\nThe primal forces that the gods [/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]A[/ch]\r\nHad cloaked in mystery [/tab]\r\n\r\n[tab][ch]Bm[/ch]\r\nBut she would not be satisfied, [/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]G[/ch]\r\nAnd though she trembled, she defied them [/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]D[/ch]\r\nTook her torch and raised it high [/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]A[/ch]\r\nSet afire history. [/tab]\r\n\r\n[CHORUS]\r\n \r\n[tab][ch]G[/ch]                                [ch]Bm[/ch]\r\nTomorrow can be brighter than to-day, [/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]Bm[/ch]\r\nalthough the night is cold. [/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]D[/ch]                                [ch]A[/ch]\r\nThe stars may seem so very far a-way...[/tab]\r\n\r\n[tab][ch]G[/ch]\r\nBut courage, hope and reason burn,[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]Bm[/ch] \r\nIn every mind, each lesson learned, [/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]D[/ch]\r\nShining light to guide our way [/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]A[/ch]                              [ch]Bm[/ch]\r\nMake tomorrow brighter than to-day...[/tab]\r\n\r\n[tab][ch]G[/ch]\r\nOh................[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]Bm[/ch]\r\nOh................

[/tab]\r\n\r\n[tab][ch]D[/ch]\r\nAges long forgotten now, [/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]A[/ch]\r\nWe built the wheel and then the plough. [/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]Bm[/ch]\r\nTilled the earth and proved our worth, [/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]G[/ch]\r\nAgainst the drought and snow. [/tab]\r\n\r\n[tab][ch]D[/ch]\r\nSoon we had the time to fathom [/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]A[/ch]\r\nMountain peaks and tiny atoms, [/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]Bm[/ch]\r\nBeating hearts electric sparks [/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]G[/ch]\r\nSo much more to know. [/tab]\r\n\r\n[CHORUS]\r\n \r\n[tab][ch]G[/ch]                                [ch]Bm[/ch]\r\nTomorrow can be brighter than to-day, [/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]Bm[/ch]\r\nalthough the night is cold.

[/tab]\r\n\r\n[tab][ch]D[/ch]\r\nThe universe may seem unfair. [/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]A[/ch]\r\nThe laws of nature may not care. [/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]Bm[/ch]\r\nThe storms and quakes, our own mistakes, [/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]G[/ch]\r\nThey nearly doused our flame.
