[Intro]
|(D) |(G) |(A) |(D)
[Verse]
Hey, look how far we've Dcome, do we know who we Gare?
Stranded on a Amountaintop trying to catch a falling Dstar
Here's to what we've left Dbehind us, here's to what we've kept Ginside
May the road that lies Abefore us lead to a place where love Dabides
I went walking with my Dbaby through the early morning Gfrost
Saw three crosses on the Aroadside where three young souls Dwere lost
Guess, they're flying with the Dangels, Jesus took 'em for a Gride
High above the Rio AGrande, they'll found a place where love Dabides
[Chorus]
You may cross your barren Gdesert, you must walk your path a- Bmlone
But a sudden storm may Gblind you, shake your spirit to the Abone
Seeking shelter for a Gweary heart, somewhere to rest, somewhere to Bmhide
Then somewhere down that Gtroubled road, Ayou find a place where Dlove abides
[Instrumental]
|(D) |(G) |(A) |(D) | x 2
[Verse]
Our people came across the Dwater with their fearful untamed Ghearts
Standing on a foreign Ashoreline praying for a brand new Dstart
Hand in hand across Dthe mountains and the raging rivers Gwide
'Til they reached the distant Aocean or found a place where Dlove abides
[Chorus]
You may cross your barren Gdesert, you might walk your path a- Bmlone
But a sudden storm may Gblind you, shake your spirit to the Abone
Seeking shelter for a Gweary heart, somewhere to rest, somewhere to Bmhide
Then somewhere down that Gtroubled road, Ayou find a place where Dlove abides
Hey, look how far we've Dcome, do we know who we Gare?
Stranded on a Amountaintop trying to catch a falling Dstar
