[F#] _ _ _ _ _ _ [C#] _ _
_ [F#] As this planet falls around the sun, trapping us in the [C#] orbit,
_ creation _ [B] groans in [F#] unison like a race [D#m] of [G#] frightened _
[F#] _ mortals.
_ The darkness of [B] this [F#] raging storm is covering up [B] our _ [F#] portals,
but a yearning [B] for the [F#] light is born in the [D#m] heart of [C#] every [F#] mortal.
_ _ [D#m] And day [A#m] to day [B] we ache [G#m] with the [C#] pain that plagued [F#] creation,
night [D#m] to night [F#] we lie [B] awake [Am] and [E] await its _ [C#] _ restoration.

[D#m] _ _ [C#] _ [F#] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Heaven knows our lonely wastes, heaven knows [B] our _
[C#] sorrows,
[F#] heaven knows [B] things that we [F#] don't know, and the joy of eternal [C#] _ _
[F#] _ tomorrows.
_ Through this blast we dimly see this world as it [F#] was [C#] made,
[F#] oh, and the good we know [B] must [F#] surely flow from the [D#m] heart of a kind [C#] _ [F#] creator.
[D#m] And day [F#] to day [B] we ache with the pain [C#] that plagued [F#] creation,
[A#] night [D#m] to night [F#] we [B] lie awake and [G#m] await its _
[C#] _ _ restoration.
[F#] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ So _ _ _
_ _ [C#] _ _ [F#] _ _ _ _
[B] _ _ _ _ _ _ [D#m] _ _
[C#] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[F#] hold on [B] in this restless age, do not fear your [C#] shadow, _
your alternating _ [B] tears [F#] and praise are prayers [D#m] that surely [C#] will [F#] matter. _
Oh, [D#m] and day _ [F#] to day [B] we ache [G#m] with the [C#] pain that plagued [F#] this creation,
[A#] night [D#m] to night [A#m] we [B] lie awake [E] and [G#m] await its [C#] restoration. _
