[Ab]
[Eb] [Bb] I hear that [Eb] wild wind blow and [Ab] I realize [Bb] no man can [Eb] tame [Bb] it.
[Cm] I see the clouds [Eb] hanging over my head.
[Ab] Lord, I know no man can [F] put them down.
If [Eb] you think all is dead, [Ab] just [Eb]
look around.
[Ab] [Eb] [Bb] There [Eb] must be a rainbow's end.
[Ab] But wait now, [Eb] no one can find it.
[Eb]
We all got to die one day, [Ab]
but [Bb] no man can
time it.
[Cm] Who else [Eb] could make a moon and a [G] sun [Ab] shine
over every [Fm] city [F] and every [Eb] [Abm] town.

I guess [Eb] you can hear the [Abm] breeze.
[Eb] Look [E] at each other.
[Fm] [Ab] [Eb] And if you can't see God within all of those things [Ab] that you've looked at and within yourself,
[Eb] then you haven't looked around.
[Db]
[Fm] [Ab] [Eb] So you see, God is not dead.
[Ab] [Ab]
If you don't want to see him, you won't see him.
