EWith all the legends that the F#century sings
And it's Avision bring to Elife
EWhile foreign waters breathe F#against the shore
And the Awind plays ore it's rusted fEife
C#mI see the ships of a G#mfriendly fleet
And a Asong so sweetly Esounding
C#mAnd gentle souls who think G#mnot to defeat
As Aacross the waves they are Ebounding
EAnd then the thoughts of all the F#days this time
They have Abeen confined without Ereason
EAnd in the matters of their F#health and wealth
They cannot Abe defined but as Etreason
C#mBut go where and find the G#mbetter life
As in the Aname of love you have Efreed them
C#mAnd those you need not you have G#mleft behind
And those you Akeep in mind you know to hEeed them
EAcross the bridge, across the F#river
Where we've Anever been Ebefore
EWithin and out of worlds F#around us
And in the Alight of finding Emore
C#mWe always easy undG#merstood that
It was no Agood not to expElore
C#mBut never really underG#mstood that
It was no Agood just to Eignore
