HELLOWEEN - LONGING
from the Chameleon record of 1993
Note: Great song by Michael Kiske, expresses much of his religious notions
and is a moving farewell from the band and from the fans...
[Intro]
C#m
[Verse 1]
C#mFeelings come and go
C#mI'll never know
C#mSomething longs to roll
C#mWon't let goB  
The spirits around my head
Are whispering
I turn inside instead
Of wondering
  C#m   D#mx4
[Chorus]
C#mDeep inside of me I know there's got to be
A Adifferent kind of truth that sets my spirit free
If DI don't wanna know what's written inside me
How could I C#msee Banything?
How could I Bbe C#manything?
[Verse 2]
C#mRestless minds have searchedD#m  
C#mLong beforeD#m  
The C#mtruth will be the sameD#m  
ForC#mevermoreB  
The mightiness of trees
That you can't see
Can give you all you need
Just listen still
[Bridge 1]
C#mHere is love and there is pain
It's G#mall around, it's all the same
There's F#mnothing new that I could tell to C#myou
But C#mstill there is the universe
InG#mside of us that never burns
We F#might not know the meaning yet
But F#I am sure we can't reject the Btruth Bthat B7is B7in
C#mEverything that Ais and has been and will C#mbe
