 C               
 So come sit down
          Am           G   
 Will you talk with me now?
 C                           
 Let me see through your eyes
                Am     G    
 Where there is so much life
        Am          G  
 We are biding our time
           Am        G    
 For these myths to unwind
        Am         G           C 
 These changes we will confront
 C               
 So please beware
            Am              G  
 With every place that you head
 C                
 Look to your soul
            Am               G 
 For these things that you know
         Am               G 
 For the trees that we see
        Am      G      
 Cannot forever breathe
 Am                     G           C 
 With the changes they will confront

 All verse tab x2
 Verse2:
 
 For this sacred land
 It has seen many hands
 It has wealth and gold
 Yet it is fragile and old
 And all the greedy souls
 Just don't care to know
 Of the changes it will confront
 
 So speak out loud
 Of the things you are proud
 And if you love this coast
 Then keep it clean as it hopes
 'Cause the way that it shines
 May just dwindle with time
 With the changes it will confront

 Verse3:
 
 So hold nice and close
 Once you get to your soul
 So that when it is cold
 You won't feel so alone
 'Cause the roads that you take
 May just crack and break
 With the changes you will confront
 
 With each gift that you share
 You may heal and repair
 With each choice you make
 You may help someone's day
 Well I know you are strong
 May your journey be long
 And now I wish you the best of luck
 Well I know you are strong
 May your journey be long
 And now I wish you the best of luck.
 
 Chorus
 
 Fade out
