Intro: D

          D                          G              D
There are many ways of being in this circle we call life
  D                                  Em                 A7
A wise man seeks an answer burns his candle through the night
     D                        D7             G
Is a jewel just a pebble that found a way to shine
      G                 D                Em            A7
Is an hero's blood more righteous than a hobo's sip of wine

      D                                G             D
Did I speak to you one morning on some distant world away
        D                              Em          A7
Did you save me from an arrow, did you lay me in a grave
        D                              D7              G
Were we brothers on a journey, did you teach me how to run
        G             D             Em             A7
Were we broken by the waters, did I lie you in the sun
          
  G                  Bm      F#m/C#   D       D
I dreamed you were a prophet in   the meadow
  G               Bm       F#m/C#    D       D7
I dreamed I was a mountain in    the wind
  G                     Bm         F#m/C#   D      D
I dreamed you knelt and touched me with   a flower
  G                 Em           A7    A7
I awoke with this a flower in my hand

  D                                G           D
I know that love is seeing all the infinite in one
       D                                Em             A7
In the brotherhood of creatures who the father who the son
    D                            D7                     G
The vision of your goodness will sustain me through the cold
        G             D               Em            A7
Take my hand now to remember when you find yourself alone,

             A7            D   
You're never alone and the spirit fills the darkness of the heavens
   G                                 D    D7    
It fills the endless yearning of the soul
   G              Bm       F#m/C#     D         D                   
It lives within a star too far     to dream of, 
   G                 Bm       F#m/C#     A7
It lives within each part and is     the whole
       G    F#m     Em         A7     D     G     
It's a fire and the wings that fly us home,
A      D     G  A11    D     G   D
fly us home,    fly us home.
