[D] [Bm] [D]
[G] I've been waiting [D] for the sun [G] to come blazing up out of [D] the night like a bullet from a gun
till every shadow is scattered every dragons on the run
oh I believe I believe that the light is gonna come
and this is the dark this is the dark before the dawn
[Bm] [D]
I've been waiting for some peace [G] to come raining [D] down out of the heavens on these
war-torn fields all [G] creation [A] is aching for the sons [Bm] of God to be revealed
[G] well I believe I believe that the [A] victory is sealed the [G] serpents drop [A] that
it was crushed [D] beneath his heel oh [A] I know the [F#m] wind [G] can bring the lightning
[A] oh I know the [F#m] lightning [G] brings the rain [A] oh I know the storm [Bm] can be so frightening
but [G] that same wind is gonna blow that [A] storm away [D] blow that storm away
[F#m] [D]
Lord I'm waiting for a [Bm] change [G]
I'm [D] waiting for a change so I'm waiting for
the king [G] to come galloping [D] out of the clouds while the angel armies sing he's
gonna gather his people in the shadow [Bm] of his wings and [D] I'm gonna raise my voice
with the [Bm] song of the redeemed [D] cuz all this darkness is a small and passing
thing
[Bm] this is the storm this is the storm [D]
storm before the calm [G] this is the
pain the pain [A] for the bomb [Bm] this is the cold cold [D]
cold before the war [G] these are
the tears the tears [A] before the song [G] this is the dark [A]
sometimes all I [G] see is this
darkness [A]
can't you [Bm] feel the [G] darkness [A]
it's just the dark [D] before the dawn
[G]
[D] I'm just waiting for the change [Bm] change [G]
I [D] had a dream that I was waking at the
burning edge of dawn [G] I could see the fields of glory [D] I could hear the sores
song I had a dream that I was waking at the burning edge of dawn and all that
rain and wash me clean all the sorrow was gone I had a dream and I was awake
at the burning edge of dawn and I could finally believe [G] the king had loved me
all [D] along I had a dream that I was awake at the burning edge of dawn I saw the
soul [A] in the silver mist he was calling [D] me home
[F#m] [Bm] [D] [A] [D]
