[E] Standing firm on this stony ground, [C] the wind blows hard pulls these clothes around.
[A] I harbor all the same worries as most, [F] the temptations to leave or to give up the ghost.
[D] I wrestle [Bm] with an outlook on [G] life that shifts between darkness and shadowy light.
[F] I struggle with words for fear that they'll hear, [Gm] but all fear sleeps [Bb] on his back still dead to [A] the world.
[E] Sunlight falls, my wings open wide, [C] there's a beauty here I cannot deny.
[A] Bottles that tumble and crash on the stairs [F] are just so many people and you never care.
[D] Down below [Bm] on the wreck of the ship are a [G] stronghold of pleasures I couldn't regret.
[C] But the baggage is swallowed [F] up by [Am] the tide, [Gm] as all face keeps [Bb] to his promise [Dm] and stays [A] by my side.
[F] Tell me, [G] I've still a lot to
[F] learn, understand [G] these fires never [F] stop beneath me.
[G] When this joke is tired of [F] laughing, I will hear the [G] promise [Bb] of my [A] office sing.

[E] Sleepers, sleepers, we row the boat, [C] just you, the weather and I gave up hope.
[A] But all of the hurdles that fell in our laps [F] was fuel for the fire and straw for our backs.
[D] Still the voices [Bm] of stories to tell [G] of the power struggles in heaven and hell.
[F] But youth and secure against such mighty dreams, [Gm] as all face sings of [Dm] the promise tomorrow [A] may bring.
