[Verse 1]
A
I have a memory

     Bm                            A
Of a time and place where history resigned

A
Now my apology

        Bm                            A
All the light came in to fulminate my mind
[Verse 2]
A
Reach out, reach out

   Em7
To all the ones who came before you

D
Ponder what is right

Bm
You and I, in defiance

A
Speak out, speak out

Em7
The conversation may afford you

D
Wisdom of the wise

Bm
You and I, in defiance
A D A D [Verse 3]
A                          D
And I come from conscience where there is no conjugation

A                        D
I would rather be a flower than the ocean

A                     D
And I held myself as something of an innovation

A                   D
I would rather be devoured than be broken
[Chorus]
A
All my life I tried so hard

Bm
To separate myself from all

A                           Gm        D
That is and was and will be torn apart

A
You were running unafraid

D
I know you, but I’ve changed my way

A                      Gm      D
You know I take it all to heart
[Bridge]
D       C#m                    E
Home is where you’ve called my name

D         A                     E
I’ve gone as far as the eye can blame

D        A                      E
You said love may have lost its way
[Chorus 2]
A
Now my life has been erased

Bm
And what I gave, I gave for you

A                          Gm   D
And for myself and for the holy name

A
You were running unashamed

Bm
And yours is mine and all remains

A                        Gm  D
As nothing ever stays the same
[Verse 4]
A                       G
Reach out, reach out to all the ones who came before you

E                       D
Reach out, reach out to all the ones who came before you

A                        G
Reach out, reach out and all at once the pain restores you

E                        D
Reach out, reach out and all at once the pain restores you

G               D                A
All at once the pain restores you
[Outro]
A                    Bm                           A
I have a memory of a time and place where history resigned

A
Now in my reverie

        Bm                              A
For the guiding light that opened up my mind
