A                D
Let the river run,
            A
let all the dreamers
        F#m     E
wake the nation.
D               F#     E     A
Come, the New Jerusalem.

A                D
Silver cities rise,
            A
the morning lights
                F#m     E
the streets that meet them ,
D                       F#   
and sirens call them on
E       A
with a song.
F#m             B
It's asking for the taking.
A       
Trembling, shaking.
F#m             G
Oh, my heart is aching.

E 
We're coming to the edge,
E/D
running on the water,
E/C#
coming through the fog,
E/B
your sons and daughters.

C               F
We the great and small
C
stand on a star
        Am      G      F
and blaze a trail of desire
        Am      G      F
through the dark'ning dawn.
        Am              D
It's asking for the taking.
C
Come run with me now,
C
the sky is the color of blue
you've never even seen
in the eyes of your...
Am              Bb
Oh, my heart is aching.
G       
We're coming to the edge,
G7
running on the water,
G6
coming through the fog,
G/D
your sons and daughters.
