Intro: D  
There are Dmany ways of being in this Gcircle we call Dlife
A Dwise man seeks an answer burns his Emcandle through the A7night
Is a Djewel just a pebble that D7found a way to Gshine
Is an Ghero's blood more Drighteous than a Emhobo's sip of A7wine
Did I Dspeak to you one morning on some Gdistant world Daway
Did you Dsave me from an arrow, did you Emlay me in a A7grave
Were we Dbrothers on a journey, did you D7teach me how to Grun
Were we Gbroken by the Dwaters, did I Emlie you in the A7sun
I Gdreamed you were a Bmprophet F#m/C#in   the DmeadowD  
I Gdreamed I was a Bmmountain F#m/C#in    the DwindD7  
I Gdreamed you knelt and Bmtouched me F#m/C#with   a DflowerD  
I Gawoke with this a Emflower in my A7handA7  
I Dknow that love is seeing all the Ginfinite in Done
In the Dbrotherhood of creatures who the Emfather who the A7son
The Dvision of your goodness will D7sustain me through the Gcold
Take my Ghand now to reDmember when you Emfind yourself A7alone,
You're never A7alone and the Dspirit fills the darkness of the heavens
It Gfills the endless yearning of the DsoulD7  
It Glives within a Bmstar too F#m/C#far     to Ddream of, D  
It Glives within each Bmpart and F#m/C#is     the A7whole
It's a Gfire F#mand the Emwings that A7fly us Dhome,G  
Afly us Dhome,    G  A11fly us Dhome. G  D
