The Eagle and Child
From ‘All Moments’
[Intro]
F# C# D#m A#m
[Verse 1]
F# C# D#m A#m F# C# D#m A#m
You see my wandering heart inside my chest
F# C# D#m A#m F# C# D#m A#m
You know my anxious thoughts and wish me rest.
F# C# D#m A#m F# C# D#m A#m
We know these ravenous roads surround
F# C# D#m A#m F# C# D#m A#m
Every ear is ringing with the looming sound
F# A#m C#/F G#
I am sitting in silence atop stormiest seas
F# A#m C#/F G#
and I wait for the waters to wash over me
[Verse 2]
F# C# D#m A#m F# C# D#m A#m
Though dense and heavy conditions thrive
F# C# D#m A#m F# C# D#m A#m
I get a feeling that we’ll make it out alive
F# C# D#m A#m F# C# D#m A#m
Too often we’re wishing the night a - way
F# C# D#m A#m F# C# D#m A#m
but without it we couldn’t define the day
F# A#m C#/F G#
I am sitting in silence atop stormiest seas
F# A#m C#/F G#
and I wait for the waters to wash over me
[Chorus]
C# F#
You see our struggles and our sorrow
A#m
I am already on my knees
F#
I am an echo of the hero
C#
who faced the fires before me
F#
He is the arbiter of comfort
A#m
making his place in the unknown
D#m
I see the footprints of the hero
F# C# D#m A#m
this is the pathway to his home
F# C# D#m A#m
[Verse 3]
F# C# D#m A#m F# C# D#m A#m
You see my wandering heart inside my chest
F# C# D#m A#m F# C# D#m A#m
You know my anxious thoughts and wish me rest.
F# C# D#m A#m F# C# D#m A#m
when we are crashing as waves along the shore
F# C# D#m A#m F# C# D#m A#m
we’re grasping the God who broke before
F# A#m C#/F G#
Can we stand as a people, finding peace with our lot?
F# A#m C#/F G#
Can we suffer in stillness, believing we’re bought?
[Chorus]
C# F#
You see our struggles and our sorrow
A#m
I am already on my knees
F#
I am an echo of the hero
C#
who faced the fires before me
F#
He is the arbiter of comfort
A#m
making his place in the unknown
D#m
I see the footprints of the hero
F# C#
this is the pathway to his home
F# A#m C#/F G#
[Bridge]
F# A#m C#/F G#
You will catch the pieces of my heart
F# A#m C#/F G#
so I need not fear the fall apart
F# A#m C#/F G#
you will count a million of my tears
F# A#m C#/F G#
you will whisper worth into my fears
F# A#m C#/F G#
[Ending]
D#m G# F#
I have hope in the darkness
D#m G# C#/F
Recollection of light
D#m G# F#
You have loved me in my ignorance
D#m G# C#
Oh restorer of life
