Intro:
D G D
There are many ways of being in this circle we call life
D Em A7
A wise man seeks an answer burns his candle through the night
D D7 G
Is a jewel just a pebble that found a way to shine
G D Em A7
Is an hero's blood more righteous than a hobo's sip of wine
D G D
Did I speak to you one morning on some distant world away
D Em A7
Did you save me from an arrow, did you lay me in a grave
D D7 G
Were we brothers on a journey, did you teach me how to run
G D Em A7
Were we broken by the waters, did I lie you in the sun
G Bm F#m/C# D D
I dreamed you were a prophet in the meadow
G Bm F#m/C# D D7
I dreamed I was a mountain in the wind
G Bm F#m/C# D D
I dreamed you knelt and touched me with a flower
G Em A7 A7
I awoke with this a flower in my hand
D G D
I know that love is seeing all the infinite in one
D Em A7
In the brotherhood of creatures who the father who the son
D D7 G
The vision of your goodness will sustain me through the cold
G D Em A7
Take my hand now to remember when you find yourself alone,
A7 D
You're never alone and the spirit fills the darkness of the heavens
G D D7
It fills the endless yearning of the soul
G Bm F#m/C# D D
It lives within a star too far to dream of,
G Bm F#m/C# A7
It lives within each part and is the whole
G F#m Em A7 D G
It's a fire and the wings that fly us home,
A D G A11 D G D
fly us home, fly us home.
