Intro: E5 , Ab5 , A5 , B5
          ( E5 )       
Was it love or recognition that has
( Ab5 )
healed this man's condition
    ( A5 )
I'm hoping and I'm wishing that
     ( B5 )
this bird won't fly away
       ( E5 )
We can see life hand in hand,
    ( Ab5 )
the green, the blue, the rough, the sand
    ( A5 )
And in our time and in our land
      ( B5 )
we'll savor everyday

Chorus:
     ( F#-)                         ( E5 )
And oh, how our glory may fade,
( Ab5 )      ( A5 )
  at least we've learned
     ( B5 )                   ( E5 )
some things along the way

    
 
You took me from my bubble
         
knowing my defense was weak
       
And you sat there and you listened
     
any time I chose to speak
     
you gathered from my pleas to
    
you that I am but a clown
    
And I fear only a hero can defeat
these demons now

Chorus:
    
And oh, how our glory may fade,

         at least we've learned some

tricks of trade



And as time shall inevitably move on,
          
oh well, at least we'll have four strong
          
legs to stand on
            
To keep us alive...
