Em It's coming from so far away CC/D It's hard to say for sure GG/BC Whether what I hear is music or the wind D Through an open door Em Eb#5 There's a fire high in the empty sky G/DC(add9)G Where the sound meets the shore G There's a long distance loneliness CGD Rolling out over the desert floor

CBm And the years that I spent lost in the mystery D#dimEm Fall away leaving only the sound of the drum G/F Like a part of me
It speaks to the heart of me Em Forget what life used to be
You are what you choose to be Eb#5 D It's whatever it is you see G Gmb5(6) That life will become
D/F# Whatever it is you might think you have Em/GB7/F# You have nothing to lose C/G Through every dead and living thing Em Time runs like a fuse GCDC/EDsus4/F#G And the fuse is burning GCDC/ED7sus4/F#G And the earth is turning
CBm Though the years give way to uncertainty D#dimEm And the fear of living for nothing strangles the will G/F There's a part of me
That speaks to the heart of me Em Though sometimes it's hard to see C It's never far from me Eb#5 D Alive in eternity G That nothing can kill
Gmb5(6) Oh Lord D/F#Em/GB7/F# Are there really people starving still? C/G Look out beyond the walls of Babylon Em How long will their needs go unfilled GCDC/ED7sus4/F#G I want to say right now I'm going to be a - round
(backgr. vocals: I'm going to be around) GCDC/ED7sus4/F#G When the walls and towers are crumbling
(backgr. vocals: When the towers are tumbling down) GCDC/ED7sus4/F#G And I will tune my spirit to the gentle sound
(backgr. vocals: I want to hear the sound) GCDC/ED7sus4/F#G Of the waters lapping on a higher ground
(backgr. vocals: Of the children laughing)
