Be the sky I long to fly through
C Bb
I'm a song for your breeze to sing
Dm C Bb
I'm in this play without a part

And I stand silent with my racing heart

Beauty cries out to everyone
C Bb
So few ever hear her sing
Dm C Bb
We live to play our souls out loud
C F
Yet we stand silent with a racing heart
CHORUS 1:
C Dm
It has it's own life, it has it's own sun
Bb C
It has it's own god, it has it's own gun
F
It knocks at heaven's door and opens it as well
Bb C
It seeks its own truth, finds its own hell
CHORUS 2:
F Dm Bb
I'm condemned to wander worlds apart
C F Bb
I stand silent with a racing heart
F Dm Bb
Condemned to wander worlds apart
C F Dm Bb F
I stand silent with my racing heart
C F
In these places of my longing
C Bb
Beyond isolation's door
Dm C Bb
In realms of dream I light the spark
C F
My soul shall burn beside my racing heart
CHORUS 1:
C Dm
It has it's own life, it has it's own sun
Bb C
It has it's own god, it has it's own gun
F
It knocks at heaven's door and opens it as well
Bb C
It seeks its own truth, finds its own hell
CHORUS 2:
F Dm Bb
I'm condemned to wander worlds apart
C F Bb
Standing silent with my racing heart

Condemned to wander worlds apart
I stand silent with my racing heart
