VERSE: DAD Humanity grew weary A Of it's doubtful state of mind DA So it summoned from far and called from near GD All the wise men thought to be sincere
PRE-CHORUS: DGD To heal it's wounds and make it whole GD And lead the way back to the soul

VERSE: DAD The charlatans they stayed behind A To count their bags of gold D And some stayed away A As if to say GD I know that my way's the only way
PRE-CHORUS: DGD Afraid to learn they may be wrong GD They preach their nothingness at home
CHORUS: A But the wise men came together D With the hope to free man kind AEDA Of the rubbish that had gathered in god's name
A To embrace and trust each other D In the search for the supreme AEDA And they found that all their teachings were the sa-ame

VERSE: DAD And when at last the word went round A That all were one and all DA Many returned to seek the light GD Nobody claimed that he was right
PRE-CHORUS: DGD It's sad to know it's just a song GD To dream and hope still can't be wrong
CHORUS: A But the wise men came together D With the hope to free man kind AEDA Of the rubbish that had gathered in god's name
A To embrace and trust each other D In the search for the supreme AEDA And they found that all their teachings were the sa-ame
