[Verse]
There’s a Dlight shining through the Gscars
Of a million tired Bmsouls
Kindled in the F#mheart of us Aall
From a Dflame can come a witch’s Gfire
Or a warm hearth in a Bmblizzard
ACalling us in from the EmdarkBmness
The Dgolden age has come and gone
GSo-called progress marches on
The Bmbest of all things in the worst of all times
The F#mfuture is here - all Anickels and dimes
The Dsame old story sells itself
GClass and conduct - labour and wealth
BmWaiting in their station for a Atrain that’ll Emnever Dcome
[Instrumental]
D     G    Bm   A  Bm  Em
D     G    Bm   A  Em  D
[Verse]
So many Dtimes - I found myself at Godds
With the words of self-styled Bmkings
But I had not the strength to deny F#mthemA  
And other Dtimes - I tried to still the Gwaters
Running canyons in my Bmmind
But I only Amanaged to get in my Emown Bmway
[Bridge]
But I Gdare to hope that the clouds will break
And the Dgood sun will prevail
To Emburn away the cruel fog of war
And B5turn C#5the D5scorched E5earth F#5green
They can Gnail me to the pearly gates
And Dsalve my wounds with lye
They can Emdo many things
But they Gwon’t make a fool out of Dme.
[Instrumental]
D     G    Bm   A  Bm  Em
D     G    Bm   A  Em  D
[Verse]
There’s a Dlife carved out in the Gstars
For a billion burdened Bmsouls
Waiting around to F#mdieA  
On the Dday you stand to meet your Gmaker
Be it a god or Mother BmNature
Can you Asay that Emlived the right Dway? Can you say it?
[Instrumental]
D     G    Bm   A  Bm  Em

There’s a light shining through the scars

Of a million tired souls

Kindled in the heart of us all

Or a warm hearth in a blizzard

Calling us in from the darkness

The golden age has come and gone

The best of all things in the worst of all times

Waiting in their station for a train that’ll never come

With the words of self-styled kings

D G

And other times - I tried to still the waters

Running canyons in my mind

A Em Bm

But I only managed to get in my own way

[Bridge]

But I dare to hope that the clouds will break

And the good sun will prevail

To burn away the cruel fog of war

And turn the scorched earth green

They can nail me to the pearly gates

And salve my wounds with lye

They can do many things

But they won’t make a fool out of me.
