[Db]
[Abm] [Ab]
[Db] Standing in the ocean, the sun burning low [Ab] in the wind
[Db]
Like a fire in the calamitous darkness [Ab] at the heart of the beast
[Db] With my beliefs and possessions, stacked at the frontier in [Fm] my chest
At the [Gb] edge of my [Db] country, my back to the sea [Ab] will gage
Where [Db] the search for the truth is conducted with a [Ab] wink and a nod
Where [Db] power and position are equated with the grace [Ab] of God
[Db] These times of famine for the soul are for the senses, [Fm] it's a feast
From [Gb] the edge of my [Db] country, as far as you see will [Ab] gage
Hunger at the midnight, hunger at the stroke of noon
[Db] Hunger in the mansion, [Abm] hunger in the [Ab] rented room
[Gb] Hunger on the TV, hunger on the printed [Db] page
And [Abm] there's a God-sized [Db] hunger underneath the laughter and [Ab] the rage
And [Gb] an absence of light [Db]
in [Ab] the deepening night
Where I [Gb] wait for the [Db] sun [Ab] looking east

[Gb] [Abm]
[Ab] [Gb] [Ab]
Power in the insect, power in the sea
Power in the snow falling, sanity
[Abm] Power in the blossom, [Ab] power in the storm
Power in the soft view, summer moon
Power in the wheat field, power in the rain
Power in the sunlight and the hurricane
Power in the silence, power in the flame
Power in the sound of the lover's name
[Db] The power of the sunrise, the power of [Ab] the prayer release
At [Db] the edge of my country, I pray for the ones [Abm] with the least
Hunger [Ab] at the midnight, [Abm] hunger at the stroke of noon
Hunger [Db] in the banquet, hunger in the [Ab] brightened ground
Hunger on the [Gb] TV, hunger on the [Db] printed page
And there's a God-sized hunger underneath the [Ab] questions of the age
[Gb] And an absence of [Db] light in the [Ab] deepening night
[Db] Where I wait for the sun [Ab] looking east
