Verse 1:

         C#5   E5        A5        E5
We are slaves to these age-old afflictions
A5              B5               A5        E5
Fighting for control 'till we fell too far
C#5       B5       A5          E5
Pursue desire, ignore our convictions
A5              B5                  A5        E5
Only wretched souls beneath the weeping stars

Pre-Chorus 1:

         C#5    E5           A5           E5
We are calling out in the thick of the war
         C#5    E5      A5                   B5
I am standing down to fight for something more
         C#5           E5                A5      B5
Would we cease these battles, let this love resound
C#5         B5                A5        E5
Still too hard to find our common ground


Chorus:

           C#5        B5     E5        A5
There's a fire that stays bold and courageous
           C#5      B5         E5
There's a light to light the way
           C#5        B5     E5        A5
There's a fire that stays bold and courageous
           C#5      B5         E5
There's a light to light the way


Verse 2:

       C#5     E5       A5           E5
And we try so hard to heal our diseases
A5             B5              A5         E5
We break to pieces when our hope has failed
           C#5     B5     A5        E5
Some will live or die without a reason
A5             B5                   A5      E5
Such are the seasons, still our faith prevails


Pre-Chorus 2:

        C#5       E5        A5           E5
We are lost and found and beg to be restored
        C#5       E5     A5           B5
We keep falling down, harder than before
               C#5    E5                A5              B5
But love will find a way to give us strength to carry on
C#5         B5                A5         E5
Sorrow for now, but someday soon be gone


Chorus


Verse 3:

       C#5     E5   A5             E5
So we come and go, it's still a mystery
A5            B5             A5         E5
And we'll be history long before we find
C#5       B5            A5        E5
All the secrets since now and forever
A5            B5             A5     E5
We hope for better on the other side


Bridge:

C#5   A5         E5             B5
God, hear the cries of your people! (x4)


Chorus
