You're building a ship with no sails,
       ( C5 )                 ( D5 )                    ( E5 )     ( E5 )
And setting out to brave the open sea.
            ( C5 )            ( D5 )
You're standing before your God,
         ( G5 )                         ( D5 )
But becoming something so far off.
 ( C5 )          ( D5 )         [hold E5 ]
Don't you see the irony?

He gave me a train with no tracks.
       ( C5 )                ( D5 )                     ( E5 )      ( E5 )
With no wood to build or burn for steam.
    ( C5 )          ( D5 )
Despite all I lack,
         ( G5 )                 ( D5 )
The fighter will now turn his back,
 ( C5 )          ( D5 )         [hold E5 ]
Don't you see the irony?

         C5
If the blind can see You,
            D5
And the lame can meet You,
                C5
Would the dead embrace You,
                   C5                  D5
If you never gave them the means to
  E5
believe?
        C5                  D5         E5
And that makes no sense to me...

     C5
He gave me a voice that speaks out,
       D5
But paired it with a mind that's filled
        E5
with doubt.
  C5                  D5                G5
If I'm to find the sun, I need something more than
 D5                    C5            D5             E5
songs that pour, from this, cave of questioning.

 C5           D5                  E5
Give me sand to build a home,
       C5                D5              E5
And watch all the walls fall on me.

  C5                          D5
I can't change what I am ,
       G5                         D5
The lions always kill the lambs,
        C5         D5           E5
But don't you see the irony?
C5             D5          E5
Don't you see the irony?

         C5           D5
If the blind can see You,
            C5            D5
And the lame can meet You,
                C5                   D5
Would the dead embrace You,
                   C5                  D5
If you never gave them the means to
  E5
believe?

        C5                  D5         E5
And that makes no sense to me...
    C5           D5
Will I... embrace You? Will You
         C5               D5            E5
Ever give me the means to believe?
            C5        D5...
Answer me, please...
