         Bbm                    F/A          F/C
Is there no sign of light as we stand in the darkness?

Db6          F/C   Bbm  F/C   Db6  F/C
Watching the sun arise

         Bbm                   F/A         F/C
Is there no sign of life as we gaze at the waters?

Db6      Ab6       Bbm   F/C  Db6  Bbm
Into the strangers eyes

    Gb6     Ab  Db/F        Gb
And who are we      to criticize

Ebm               F                Bbm  F/C  Db6  Bbm
     or scorn the things that they do?

    Gb6      Ab       Db/F     Gb      Ebm   Ab6   Bbm Eb/Bb  Bbm
For we shall seek and we shall find Am monia Aven  ue

      Bbm                       F/A          F/C
If we call for the proof and we question the answers

Db6      F/C         Bbm   F/C   Db6  F/C
Only the doubt will grow

       Bbm                     F/A     F/C
Are we blind to the truth or a sign to believe in?

Db6      Ab6        Bbm   F/C  Db6  Bbm
Only the wise will know

    Gb6     Ab         Db/F   Gb
And word by word  they handed down

     Ebm  Ebm/Db  F/C   F/A   Bbm  F/C Db6 Bbm
the light that   shines to    day

    Gb6        Ab     Db/F     Gb    Ebm           F
And those who came at first to scoff,     remained behind to

oboe break

|Gb6       |Db/F     |E6      |Ab/Eb
pray.......

    Gb6       Ab      Db/F     Gb        Ebm        F       Bbm  Ebm  Bbm
Yes those who came at first to scoff, re mained  be hind to pray

         Bbm                          F/A           F/C
When you can't hear the rhyme and you can't see the reason

 Db6           F/C      Bbm    F/C   Db6  F/C
Why should the hope re  main?

      Bbm                      F/A             F/C
For a man will be tired and his soul will grow weary


Db6        Ab6     Bbm  F/C   Db6  Bbm
Living his life in vain


    Gb6     Ab    Db/F           Gb
And who are we         to justi  fy the


Ebm       F      Bbm   F/C   Db6   Bbm
right in all we  do?


  Gb6    Ab      Db/F   Gb     Ebm   Ab6   Bbm   Ebm/Bb  Bbm
Until we seek until we find Am monia Aven  ue


Gb6              Db/F    E6               Ab/Eb
Through all the doubt       somehow they knew

    Gb6      Ab         Db/F     Gb
And stone by stone they built it high


   Ebm  Ebm/Db        F/C  F/A        Bbm      F/C   Db6  Bbm
Until             the sun       broke through


  Gb6    Ab      Db/F    Gb          Ebm   Ab6    Bbsus4
A ray of hope, a shining light   Am  monia Aven   ue
