• A

MALE:
For the first time in my life,
I am not outside the moment
With a camera in between me and the world
I think I know.
For the first time in my life,
I am somehow part of something.
You surround me, you connect me,
And I think I can't let go.
For the first time in my life,
You have opened up a channel
There is nothing to contain us,
We are joined, and we are free.
For the first time in my life,
I am risking something precious.
I am asking you, to please,
          A
stay with me.

A                                             G
  I can't tell you I know what the future will be.
D
  Who knows anything?
A                                                   G
  I just look at those eyes; you've got so much to see.
D
  Let me know you. There's
A
Crowds and camels and hillsides to climb.
Bm All I know is, in all of the time
      D
From man's first breath
    D
To God's last warning,
A              G
You and I are just one second,
A               G
Spinning by in one split-second.
A               G
You and I have just one second
         Fm     E       A
And a million miles to go.

A                                                  G     D
  I don't need to be rich, I don't need something new.
A                                                G
  All I need, all I've needed my whole life was you.

D
  It's impossible.
A                                                  G
  But this thing, this is bigger than what we can see.
