[Verse 1]
EFor as long as I remember and as Afar as I can see
There are C#mpilgrims in a valley lost and F#mthirsty just like me
We seek Eshelter in each other when the Arocks begin to slide
We can't C#mrun from what is coming doF#mwn the mountainside
When it all Acomes down it alF#ml comes down
[Verse 2]
From the Eground we were created to the Aground we will return
Every C#mmoment that we've borrowed every F#mtoken that we've earned
It was EHis in the beginning and it's AHis to take away
And we C#mcan't be sure 'bout nothin' but we'll F#msurely know one day
When it all Acomes down it all F#mcomes down
[Chorus 1]
And this Avapor of a life will vanish on the C#mwindB  
Every Aroad I've traveled on will come to an C#mendB  
He'll come F#mriding in and steal me up in a C#mrushB  
Take my placAe in the light leave my bones Ein the dust
[Bridge]
    AOhhhhhooo C#mwhoooaaaaa Boooohh
    AOhhhhhooo C#mwhoooaaaaa Boooohh
    F#mOhhhhhooo C#mwhoooaaaaa BoooohhE  
[Verse 3]
So I won't Eroot myself too deeply in this Avalley where we dwell
I won't C#mtie myself to nothing that tells my F#msoul it isn't well
I will Ewait and I will wonder onAly time will tell
When it alC#ml comes down it alF#ml comes down
[Chorus 1]
And this Avapor of a life will vanish on the C#mwindB  
Every Aroad I've traveled on will come to an C#mendB  
He'll come F#mriding in and steal me up in a C#mrushB  
Take my place Ain the light ooooohhhhhhh
[Chorus 2]
And I will Aleave this vessel broken down on the C#mshoreB  
Any Ashadows down below won't haunt me anyC#mmoreB  
Any Ashackles on my hands will turn to C#mrustB  
Take my place Ain the light leave my bones Ein the dust
Take my place Ain the light leave my bones in the Edust
