It's Emcoming from so far away It's Chard to say for C/Dsure Whether Gwhat I hear is G/Bmusic or the Cwind Through an open Ddoor Em Eb#5 There's a fire high in the empty sky Where the G/Dsound C(add9)meets the Gshore There's a Glong distance loneliness CRolling out over the Gdesert floor D
|Em |Em |C |C | |Em |Em |C |G |
And the Cyears that I spent lost in the Bmmystery Fall D#dimaway leaving only the sound of the Emdrum Like a G/Fpart of me
It speaks to the heart of me
Forget what life Emused to be You are what you choose to be Eb#5 D It's whatever it is you see G Gmb5(6) That life will become
Whatever it is you might D/F#think you have Em/G B7/F# You have nothing to lose Through eC/Gvery dead and living thing Time Emruns like a fuse G C D C/E Dsus4/F# G And the fuse is burning G C D C/E D7sus4/F# G And the earth is turning

Though the Cyears give way to unBmcertainty And the D#dimfear of living for nothing strangles the Emwill There's a G/Fpart of me
That speaks to the heart of me
Though sometimes it's Emhard to see It's never Cfar from me Eb#5 D Alive in eternity That nothing can Gkill
Gmb5(6) Oh Lord D/F# Em/G B7/F# Are there really people starving still?
C/GLook out beyond the walls of Babylon How Emlong will their needs go unfilled G C D C/E D7sus4/F# G I want to say right now I'm going to be a - round
(backgr. vocals: I'm going to be around) G C D C/E D7sus4/F# G When the walls and towers are crumbling (backgr. vocals: When the towers are tumbling down) G C D C/E D7sus4/F# G And I will tune my spirit to the gentle sound (backgr. vocals: I want to hear the sound) G C D C/E D7sus4/F# G Of the waters lapping on a higher ground (backgr. vocals: Of the children laughing) |G C D |C/E D7sus4/F# G | (play 4 x) |Em |Em |C |C | (play 12 x) Transcribed by Gerard Koot (Amsterdam, The Netherlands) – aug 2007 Email: gerardkoot@hotmail.com
