[Verse 1]
   We wEmalk great lengths to grow fair and tall
   Grasping Deverything that's benCeath the sun
   Oh hEmow would the mighty be at all
   If not fDor their knees to fCall upon
[Pre-chorus]
   F#Slowly the StGones will grind to sF#and
                            G (Play chord once)
   and the seas will understand and wash it all away
[Verse 2]
   I gEmet what you want, but not who you are.
   But my fDaith was strong, is it fCiction now?
   With pEmeace of mind I'll rest in my case,
   Hoping thDat my hopes won't dCie in the ground
[Chorus]
   And the Emsacred and scBared they shCare the same a-Gair
   dEmeep in our soul, we kEmnow we are both
   And then we strEmain our shBoulders
   sCearching for relGiefC  
[Verse 3]
   A bEmible to comfort
   feels like hDome to me, feels like hCome to me
   I'd Emlike to see you alive so dDa-Cance
[Pre-chorus]
   F#Slowly the SGtones will grind to sF#and
                            G (Play chord once)
