verse#1 Bbm F/A F/C
Is there no sign of light as we stand in the darkness?
Db6 F/C Bbm F/C Db6 F/C
Watching the sun arise
Bbm F/A F/C
Is there no sign of life as we gaze at the waters?
Db6 Ab6 Bbm F/C Db6 Bbm
Into the strangers eyes
chorus
Gb6 Ab Db/F Gb
And who are we to criticize
Ebm F Bbm F/C Db6 Bbm
or scorn the things that they do?
Gb6 Ab Db/F Gb Ebm Ab6 Bbm Eb/Bb Bbm
For we shall seek and we shall find Am monia Aven ue
versr#2
Bbm F/A F/C
If we call for the proof and we question the answers
Db6 F/C Bbm F/C Db6 F/C
Only the doubt will grow
Bbm F/A F/C
Are we blind to the truth or a sign to believe in?
Db6 Ab6 Bbm F/C Db6 Bbm
Only the wise will know

Gb6 Ab Db/F Gb
And word by word they handed down
Ebm Ebm/Db F/C F/A Bbm F/C Db6 Bbm

When you can't hear the rhyme and you can't see the reason
Db6 F/C Bbm F/C Db6 F/C

Until the sun broke through
