A
This is the soup that I believe in

A
This is the smoke I'm always breathing

A
This is the way I share my breakfast

A
This is the way I serve my sentence

A
I know, I know

             D
I should lay low

              A
I should stand tall

A
This is the beard I'm always growin

A
I know they're here, I see them floating

A
Her empress beads, they float so holy

A
Their beards are here, they gently hold me

A
Well who knows, who knows

                D
Yeah I may come home

          A
Yeah I may return

A
This is the way I'm always leaving

A
This is the soft voice of the evening

A
This is the way I hear my father

A
These are the flames that drown the water

A
Well I knew, I knew

              D
I could stand tall

            A
I could lay low

A
This is the sound that swims inside me

A
That circle sound is what surrounds me

A
This is the land that grows around me

A
And these are the hands that come in handy

A
Well we've known, we've known

          D
We have a choice

         A
We chose rejoice
