     Ab                   Fm
Well I've been trying to re-learn my name

   Eb            Ab
It seems like a thousand years

     Fm                         Eb     
I've been out of frame and I surrender

    Ab
The truth is what

          Fm    
What I've needed from you

Eb         Ab                    Fm      
I've been floating within your walls of opinion

Eb       Ab
And I'm tired - I only want the truth

Db                          
 -I have tried so hard not to be like them

Ab                                 Ab  
 I have found they don't ever say what they mean-

Db                             Fm   Ab
 There is a truth, there is a light

If you'd follow me there

Db
 -I've been searching for the directions and

Ab                                     Ab  
 I'm convinced the world doesn't know what it needs-

Db                        Fm      Ab
 There is a hope for the hopeless

Bbm                Ab
I can promise you that

           Ab
Yeah, well I've been accosted
The jury's been partial
    Ab
But I won't surrender

                        Ab
To prove to you I won't lie

                        Fm
Under pressure of compromise

Eb             Ab                      
Yeah, well an absolute measure
Won't change with opinion
   Fm                     
No matter how hard you try

          Eb       Ab
It's an immovable thing

                               Fm           
Just like the visions in your bed

                           Eb      Db
Or when they're streaming in your head

Db

 I'm convinced the world doesn't know what it needs-

           Fm   Ab     
There is a hope

Bbm            Ab
And I'll come back

          Db
If you're leading my hand
The world is so broken
    Ab
I'm tripping my steps

                 Ab      Db
I'm slipping and I know why
Em G-Am I never thought that I'd be here
            Ab            Db                  
A blinding call to prayer has touched my feet
Like the call of the prophets
  Ab                                 Ab        Db
A purpose is needed before you know that you know
