[D]
[G]
[A]
[D]
To all the poets I have known
Who saw the beauty [G] in the commonplace
Saw incarnation in a [A] baby's face
And in a drop [D] of rain the stars
When there was mud and blood and [F#m] tears
You sang a song at night to [G] calm our fears
[D] You made a moment last a [A] thousand years
You are the poets I [D] have known
[Am] To all the poets I [D] have known
You built a kingdom out of [G] sea and sand
You [D] conquered armies with a marching band
[A]
You carved a galaxy [D] in stone
You built an altar out of bread
And spent your soul to see the [G] children fed
You wove your heart [D] in every story read
Thank God for poets I have known
And you keep on [G] dreaming
When the [D] dreams all fade
When friends desert
You're the ones [Bm] who stay
[A] To [Em] write the [D] prayers when every [G] prayer'd been prayed
You are the poets [D] I have known
You turned your tears into a string [G] of pearls
[D] You held your sorrow high [A] to light the world
When I thought I [D] was alone
In every man you [F#m] saw the boy
The hidden heart the [A] dark could not [G] destroy
Slipped past the dragons with a [D] tale of joy
Thank God for poets I have known
Cause you keep on [G] dreaming
When [D] the dreams all fade
When friends [G] desert
[D] You're the [Bm] ones who stay
[A] [Dm] To write [Em] the prayers [D] when every [G] prayer'd been prayed
You walking wounded of [D] my life
Who [G] [D] bled compassion [G] in the heat of strife
You stood between [D] my heart and Satan's knife
[B] With just the armor [G] of a [D] song
[G] You [D] are the heroes in the grave
Who with a [A] slender pin [D] our passions save
And chisel epitaphs upon the graves
Of [A] all the poets [D] I have [Em] known
[D] So keep on dreaming
[G] Keep [D]
on dreaming
So keep on dreaming
[G] [D]
Keep on [G] dreaming
