[Verse]
Dm
Battles over which direction to kneel

Dm
People reaching out to touch

Dm                Dm7
But forgetting to feel

Dm                                Dm7
Daily breath shouldn't be a daily penance

Dm                Dm7
Is that what you believe

Dm                Dm7
Or just a life sentence
[Chorus]
G/B                       F/C G/B
I look into the mirror

A                         F/C       C     Dm
And I see someone there I used to know

G/B                           F/C G/B
They all want you to serve them

G/B                            F/C
But the only one you got to serve

F/C       Dm
Is your soul
[Verse]
Dm
So much time

Dm
And at such a cost

Dm
We spend looking for what we've lost

Dm
Now that you know

Dm
You can't find it from him

Dm
You're gonna have to find it within
[Chorus]
G/B               Am
I look into the mirror

Am    G/B                 Dm        C      Dm
And I see that life has taken its toll

G/B                             F/C G/B
They'll all want you to serve them

G/B
But the only one you got to serve

G/B       Dm
Is your soul

Dm
you got to serve your soul

[Verse]
Dm
Listen to the wind it won't lie to you

Dm
If you love it let it go

Dm                            G/B
And watch it fly to you

Dm
Every setting sun gently weeps

Dm
You can always hear it

Dm
'cause trust never sleeps
[Outro]
Dm
You can always hear it

Dm
Just trust that sleep

G/B                             F/C G/B
They'll all want you to serve them

G/B
But the only one you got to serve

F/C       G/B          C
Is your soul

Dm                    C
you got to serve your soul

serve your soul

Dm              C
serve your soul
