[Intro] Em D Bm [Verse 1]
        Em      D       Bm                                Em            D               Bm
As I stand here searching for the right words           I know that wisdom comes from despair

        Em      D       Bm                                Am            G               D
And I realize it's harder to find your own voice        Than to follow one already in the air
[Verse 2]
Em      D       Bm                                       Em             D               Bm
And as our time draws nearer                             I wonder just when we stopped being young

Em      D       Bm                                       Am             G               D
And I know my greatest deeds will go unnoticed           And our treasures were here all along
[Chorus]
A       G       D                                   A           G               D
Child of the earth hear my confession           Please don't tell me that it's overdue

        A       G       D                       F               C     D        Bm
And from the four corners of the universe       I will make my way to you
[Verse 3]
Em              D               Bm              Em              D               Bm
A gentle touch known only to each other         And a breath that comforts like the rain

Em              D               Bm              Am               G             D
And a taste no other shall ever know            That upon my tongue shall remain
[Chorus]
A       G       D                                  A            G               D
Child of the earth heal me with your whisper    Come and hold me close to your breast

A       G       D                                F              C               D       Bm
Dress my wounds with your innocence             I am weary… let me rest
[Bridge]
             D       C        G               D         C            G
Let your rain wash over me   You know all I ever hoped to be

              F        Em               D
Is half of what you are to me
[Instrumental break] Em D Bm [Verse 4]
Em           D         Bm                      Em            D          Bm
So take me from this island                    Lead me to the mountains of the moon

Em           D         Bm                      Am              G              D
As long as you lead I will follow              And the end of time will be too soon
[Chorus]
   A            G               D                       A              G                  D
Child of the earth hear my confession                Please don't tell me that it's overdue

   A            G               D                       A              G                  D
And from the four corners of the universe            I will make my way to you

   A            G               D                       A              G                  D
Child of the earth heal me with your whisper         Come and hold me close to your breast

   A            G               D                       A              G                  D
Dress my wounds with your innocence                  I am weary let me rest

   A            G               D                       A              G                  D
I am weary                                           I am weary

F       C               D
I will make my way to you

F       C               D
I will make my way to you

F       C               D
I will make my way to you
