A5                D5
Let the river run,
            A5
let all the dreamers
        F#5     E5
wake the nation.
D5               F#5     E5     A5
Come, the New Jerusalem.

A5                D5
Silver cities rise,
            A5
the morning lights
                F#5     E5
the streets that meet them ,
D5                       F#5   
and sirens call them on
E5       A5
with a song.
F#5             B5
It's asking for the taking.
A5       
Trembling, shaking.
F#5             G5
Oh, my heart is aching.

E5 
We're coming to the edge,
E5
running on the water,
E5
coming through the fog,
E5
your sons and daughters.

C5               F5
We the great and small
C5
stand on a star
        A5      G5      F5
and blaze a trail of desire
        A5      G5      F5
through the dark'ning dawn.
        A5              D5
It's asking for the taking.
C5
Come run with me now,
C5
the sky is the color of blue
you've never even seen
in the eyes of your...
A5              Bb5
Oh, my heart is aching.
G5       
We're coming to the edge,
G5
running on the water,
G5
coming through the fog,
G5
your sons and daughters.
