[Intro] Dm Am F C G [Chorus]

Dm                         F
Learn this lesson well, my friend

          C                     G
There's a time to rejoice and lament

Dm                        F
Every season will find an end

         C                    G
All will fade and be made new again

[Verse 1]

Dm
Standing on the rocks of the railroad tracks

     F
Feet calloused, eyes open, sun beats on my back

     C                             G
As I gaze upon the unseen winds

             Dm
And they are wandering, whispering

Wisdom that's eternal

          F
From the heart to the mind

To the hand to the journal

       C
Now the kernel of the seeds in the cleft of the rock

        G
And it's watered by the winds

                                Dm
Having power to unlock and

                              F
Stop the clock of chronological logic

With its homogenized systems

                         C
That are dead and can't dodge it

                                       G
Being deaf to the voice of the Almighty One

          Dm
Spirit illumines the dark like a fire

              F
Revealing the way that was hidden but is higher

             C
Now we must travel on the wings

That will never grow tired

   G
Of searching the mysteries of God

       Dm
I said Father the feathers of my wax wings

      F
Fall away by the rising of the sun

              C
And I have descended when I was undone

            G
And I will ascend when your Spirit comes

         Dm
Because what's been done and overcome

                         F
Cannot be stopped by the power of any human

                   C
Like the number of sand we will stand

And we will fall, all

G
In the face of an eternal call

              Dm
But those who call on His name

In the midst of the pain

        F
In the guilt and the shame

And the world full of blame

            C
And all the bloody stains

From the unjust gains

G
I learned all men suffer the same

        Dm
Because we're wayward sons

And all our jokes betray

    F
Our foolish hearts and our selfish ways

       C
But if we would turn to the Father's grace

         G
We would never be the same

           Dm
This is an unseen land of a devastated soul

                   F
That's prepared in contemplative silence

              C
For the mighty working hand of an unseen Lord

           G
To come restore this land from its violence

        D           Dm
I said walk another mile

F
Stare across the fields of grain

C                               G
This is how the prophets train

[Chorus]

  Dm                         F
Learn this lesson well my friend

   C                            G
There's a time to rejoice and lament

   Dm                      F
Every season will find an end

          C                     G
All will fade and be made new again

[Outro] Dm F C G [x2]
