[Verse 1]

Em Am

There is an ocean of vast proportion

B7 B7/F# Em

And she flows within ourselves.

To take dips daily we dive in gaily,

B7 B7/F# Em D

He knows who goes within himself.

G B7 B7/F# Em C Csus2 C

The abode of angels, the mystical promised land,

B7 Em

The one and only heaven, the god of man

B7 Em

Is but the closing of an eyelid away.

[Verse 2]

Em Am

There is a silence of pure excellence

B7 B7/F# Em

And she flows within ourselves.

To appreciate, we deactivate.

B7 B7/F# Em D

He knows who goes within himself.

G B7 B7/F# Em C Csus2 C

The domain of devils, the fearful land,

B7 Em

The only and only Hades, the satan of man

B7 Em D

Is but the closing of an eyelid away.

[Interlude]

G G/F# Em

All is as it was and evermore shall be,

Am Am/G D

Though they try to tell us it's not so.

G G/F# Em

Over all the earth there's nothing new to see,

Am Am/G D

Excepting every seed will newly grow.

G G/F# Em

Innocence in childhood false men misconstrue

Am Am/G D

To be years of darkness spent in shade,

G G/F# Em

Denying childhood's vision of the god of love,

Am D G G/F#

So that truth be turned about and untruth made,

And untruth made.

[Verse 3]

There is a reason for every season

B7 B7/F# Em

Of change within ourselves.

To navigate, we appreciate

B7 B7/F# Em D

And know the flow within ourselves.

G B7 B7/F# Em C Csus2 C

The deliverance from deluge, the good dry land,

B7 Em

The one and only haven, the rock of man

B7 Em

Is but the closing of an eyelid away.

[Outro]

Em C B7

There is a season, ooh,

Em C B7

There is an ocean, ooh,

Em C B7

There is a silence, ooh.
