Intro: Fadd9/C*/Gadd4/Fadd9/C  
                         Fadd9  C*
We are on a rock, spinning silently
         Gadd4                Fadd9  C  
But I'm safe when you're here with me
                                       Fadd9  C*
These questions I'm asking, they've been haunting me
              Gadd4         Fadd9  C  
I need some security, can't you see?
                                     Fadd9  C*
Her love was like a fountain rushing and pouring down
                     Gadd4          Fadd9  C  
The darkness is putting out the light in me
                                Fadd9  C*
She's a well to be dug, she's a university
          Gadd4         Fadd9  C  
A cosmic library - wait and see
We are on a rock, spinning silently
Won't you get close to me
We are on a rock, spinning in infinity
Won't you get close to me
Is it my genes that have made me?
Is it the things I took, is it the things I said
Does karma rule?
Well if there's a God well can you hear me now?
I am crying out, hoping you know
And in my baby's arms I need no faith
I need no words to define myself
And when I'm holding you, light rushing through
I wanna make it now, safe and straight
We are on a rock, spinning silently
Baby get a hold of me
We are on a rock, spinning in infinity
Baby consoling me
Oh I don't know when the fear's going to end
I don't know if my prayers are received - the ones I send
(We are on a rock, spinning silently)
I can't live in pain and fear
(We are on a rock, spinning in infinity)
Oh I see so much joy and it makes me scared
(We are on a rock, spinning silently)
Oh I don't know if my prayers are received, until the end
(We are on a rock, spinning in infinity)
Oh I guess it ain't offet for you to pray for peace
Oh baby I don't know where I'm going
All I know is that I need you as a friend
