We were... 
C                                      Am
thirteen deep below the earth, when we saw the fatal light.
     C                           Am
A mighty blast of fire shook us all and one to flight.
       F                        Am
For those of us still able, we moved to safer ground.
       C                     Am                             
The air was getting thinner, as we heard the crumbling sound.  
F                       Am
Heard the crumbling sound.


      C                  Am
We made peace with our creator, each in his own way.
      C                    Am
Some wrote notes to family, while others sat to pray.
F                       Am
Time has moved so slowly, who will hear our plight?
      C                        Am                  
As we sat there in the darkness, prepared for our last fight.  
F            Am
Fighting for our life.


  
G                     F           C             Am
We?re waiting for a miracle, to see the light of day. 
F                    F             Am
It won?t be long before we?re found and we?ll be on our way.



C                       Am
One by one among us, would swear to see daylight.
        C                        Am
Exclaiming that they?ve found us and soon we?d be alright.
    F                              Am
It finally dawned upon me, that they truly saw the light.
C                     Am                       
Not the one expected, but one to end their fight.  
 F              Am
One to end their fight.



Dm                      Am
Each one settled gently in hopes that were untrue.
F                      Am
Frozen in expression, with thoughts of our rescue.
Dm                  Am
Now I am the last one, waiting for the light.
E7                           Am                  
My eyes are growing heavy, I?m about to lose my sight.  
F                Am
About to lose my sight.



            C                       Am
Like the others here around me, I believe I see the light.
      C                     Am
When a surge of air surrounds me I feel I?ve lost the fight.
     F                      Am
A rush of saviors enter and I too see daylight.
         C                       Am                   
I?m coming with you brothers, cause I too see the light. 
 F                 Am
Cause I too see the light.


 
G                  F          C             Am
We?re waiting for a miracle, to see the light of day. 
F                    F             Am
It won?t be long before we?re found and we?ll be on our way.
