[Intro]
Dm  Am F   C G
[Chorus]
DmLearn this lesson well, my Ffriend
There's a Ctime to rejoice and laGment
DmEvery season will find an Fend
All will Cfade and be made new Gagain
[Verse 1]
DmStanding on the rocks of the railroad tracks
Feet Fcalloused, eyes open, sun beats on my back
As I Cgaze upon the unseen windsG  
And they are Dmwandering, whispering
Wisdom that's eternal
From the hFeart to the mind
To the hand to the journal
Now the Ckernel of the seeds in the cleft of the rock
And it's Gwatered by the winds
Having power to unlock andDm  
Stop the clock of chronologicaFl logic
With its homogenized systems
That are dead and can't dCodge it
Being deaf to the voice of the Almighty GOne
Spirit illDmumines the dark like a fire
Revealing the Fway that was hidden but is higher
Now we must tCravel on the wings
That will never grow tired
Of Gsearching the mysteries of God
I said DmFather the feathers of my wax wings
Fall aFway by the rising of the sun
And I have desCcended when I was undone
And I will aGscend when your Spirit comes
Because wDmhat's been done and overcome
Cannot be stopped by the Fpower of any human
Like the number of Csand we will stand
And we will fall, all
GIn the face of an eternal call
But those who Dmcall on His name
In the midst of the pain
In the gFuilt and the shame
And the world full of blame
And all the Cbloody stains
From the unjust gains
GI learned all men suffer the same
Because Dmwe're wayward sons
And all our jokes betray
Our Ffoolish hearts and our selfish ways
But if Cwe would turn to the Father's grace
We would Gnever be the same
This is an Dmunseen land of a devastated soul
That's prepared in Fcontemplative silence
For the mighty Cworking hand of an unseen Lord
To come resGtore this land from its violence
I said wDalk another Dmmile
FStare across the fields of grain
CThis is how the prophets trainG  
[Chorus]
LeDmarn this lesson well my friFend
TheCre's a time to rejoice and laGment
EveDmry season will find an eFnd
All will fCade and be made new agGain

Chords in this song · guitar

[Intro]

Dm Am F C G

[Chorus]

Dm F

Learn this lesson well, my friend

C G

There's a time to rejoice and lament

Dm F

Every season will find an end

C G

All will fade and be made new again

[Verse 1]

Standing on the rocks of the railroad tracks

Feet calloused, eyes open, sun beats on my back

C G

As I gaze upon the unseen winds

And they are wandering, whispering

Wisdom that's eternal

From the heart to the mind

To the hand to the journal

Now the kernel of the seeds in the cleft of the rock

And it's watered by the winds

Having power to unlock and

Stop the clock of chronological logic

With its homogenized systems

That are dead and can't dodge it

Being deaf to the voice of the Almighty One

Spirit illumines the dark like a fire

Revealing the way that was hidden but is higher

Now we must travel on the wings

That will never grow tired

Of searching the mysteries of God

I said Father the feathers of my wax wings

Fall away by the rising of the sun

And I have descended when I was undone

And I will ascend when your Spirit comes

Because what's been done and overcome

Cannot be stopped by the power of any human

Like the number of sand we will stand

And we will fall, all

In the face of an eternal call

But those who call on His name

In the midst of the pain

In the guilt and the shame

And the world full of blame

And all the bloody stains

From the unjust gains

I learned all men suffer the same

Because we're wayward sons

And all our jokes betray

Our foolish hearts and our selfish ways

But if we would turn to the Father's grace

We would never be the same

This is an unseen land of a devastated soul

That's prepared in contemplative silence

For the mighty working hand of an unseen Lord

To come restore this land from its violence

D Dm

I said walk another mile

Stare across the fields of grain

C G

This is how the prophets train

[Chorus]

Dm F

Learn this lesson well my friend

C G

There's a time to rejoice and lament

Dm F

Every season will find an end

C G

All will fade and be made new again

[Outro]

Dm F C G

[x2]
