                (KEYBOARD INTRO)
I see the noon and the noon see me
The moon looks down on what I long to be
There's grace in the heart and grace in the hall
But the Grace of God is over us all

C#mStand in a mirror and knAow that I am a fragment of Esomething gF#reater than IG#  
C#mSpicks of dust in a moonAbeam gathering shaEpe and potent of greAatness waiting F#to light

C#mWe can stand with botAh feet firmly Eon the grounF#d
C#mAnd let our heads get Alost so thoroughly Ein the cloudsF#  
Conjure up visions of power and romance, and destinies changed In the twinkle of an eye
Stumble and fall, always searching, desperate to give some meaning to this life
                (CHORUS)
But even the wind in the trees is the allegory
Everything that is and ever will be
Is the allegory

Sudden move in the stars
Whenever I look to the skies I can get lost
Sweat in this foundry of lies hammer my soul until it looks something more like me
Forge a chain that binds us like slaves to a dark and omninous dream
                (CHORUS)
While even the wind in the trees is the allegory
Everything that is and ever will be
Is the allegory
All that I am and all that I ever will be
This is the allegory

There's grace in the heart and grace in the hall

But the Grace of God is over us all

Whenever I look to the skies I can get lost

Stumble and fall, always searching, desperate to give some meaning to this life

But even the wind in the trees is the allegory

Everything that is and ever will be

Is the allegory
