A#m
Dancing on the crumbling precipice

A#m
The rocks are coming loose just at the edge

         C#
Are we laughing?

         C#
Are we crying?

          D#
Are we drowning?

          D#
Are we dead?

                            A#m
Or was it all a dream?

A#m
The bombs are getting closer everyday

A#m
'That can never happen here' we used to say

             C#
Have these wars come to our doorstep?

            D#
Has this moment finally come?

                                A#m
Or was it all a dream?
[Chorus]
                F#
Are we not good enough?

                G#
Are we not brave enough?

          A#m                                   C#
Is the violence in our nature just the image of our maker?

                F#
Are we not good enough?

                G#
Are we not brave enough?

    A#m
To become something greater

            C#
Than the violence in our nature?

                F#              G#
Are we not good enough 

                            A#m
or was it all a dream?
[Verse 2]
A#m
To a pretty time and fate are we condemned

A#m
Or maybe we're a book without an end

             C#
We're not stories, we're not actors

          D#
We're awake and in control

                                A#m
And this is not a dream

A#m
So can we break this mold

A#m
And set in motion something new

             C#
Forgetting what we know

        D#
An evolution overdue

            C#
Fight the current

                C#
Pull the the ripcord

        D#
Get away!
[Chorus]
                F#
Are we not good enough?

                G#
Are we not brave enough?

          A#m                                   C#
Is the violence in our nature just the image of our maker?

                F#
Are we not good enough?

                G#
Are we not brave enough?

    A#m
To become something greater

            C#
Than the violence in our nature?

                F#              G#      A#m
Are we not good enough 
[Bridge]
G# 
We travel back

G#
To what we take

G#
We need a storm

                  A#m
Let's pray for rain now

    F#                     G#
To wash these roads away

G#
Let's get off track and wander far

                                A#m
Same roads reducing destinations

     F#                 G#
Do nothing but show our heart

G#
We're talking in our sleep

                                A#m
And sleeping through our lives

                        F#                      A#m
We dream of the places where we never die

                        F#
We step from our shadows

                    A#m
And into the light
[Chorus]
                F#
Are we not good enough?

                G#
Are we not brave enough?

          A#m                                   C#
Is the violence in our nature just the image of our maker?

                F#
Are we not good enough?

                G#
Are we not brave enough?

    A#m
To become something greater

            C#
Than the violence in our nature?

                F#
Are we not good enough?

                G#
Are we not brave enough?

                F#              G#
Are we not good enough 

                            A#m
or was it all a dream?
