E5 G5 D5 Moses was old, a chill in his bones A5 C5 G5 D5 Falling apart, he knew in his heart that his time had come E5 G5 D5 As he lay in his tent in the hot desert sands A5 C5 G5 D5 He smiled at how he would never see his promised land C5 D5 E5 He sang, "I could have lived and died C5 G5 C5 An Egyptian prince, could have played safe G5 D5 But in the end journey's brought joys G5 That outweigh the pain" E5 G5 D5 Now Odysseus sat tired and alone He'd always held out against all the doubts he would come home E5 G5 D5 Now he was here, his soul felt estranged A5 C5 G5 D5 His wife and his dog, his son and his gods, everything changed C5 D5 E5 He sang, "I could have stayed and ruled C5 G5 C5 As an Ithacan prince, could've played safe G5 D5 But in the end journey's brought joys G5 That outweigh the pain" E5 G5 D5 Now Balthazar rode for seven long years A5 C5 G5 D5 Eastwards and far, he followed his star and it brought him here E5 G5 D5 To a stable in ruins in some backwater town A5 C5 G5 D5 To a virgin defiled, no king but a child, too small for a crown C5 D5 E5 He sang, "I could have lived with my Gods C5 G5 C5 As a Persian prince, I could've played safe G5 D5 But in the end journey's brought joys G5 That outweigh the pain" E5 G5 Paupers and kings, princes and thieves C5 D5 G5 Singers of songs, righters of wrongs, be what you believe E5 G5 D5 Saddle your horse, shoulder your load C5 D5 G5 Burst at the seams, be what you dream and then take to the road
