Am                  Dm/A
History recalls how great the fall can be

      G7                        Cmaj7
While everybody's sleeping, the boats put out to sea

Fmaj7                      Bm7-5
      Born on the wings of time

              Em7                     Am
It seemed the answers were so easy to find

     Dm7                 G
"Too late," the prophets cry

             Cmaj7                      Bbsus2
The island's sinking, let's take to the sky..........y

[Verse 2]

Am                     Dm/A
Called the man a fool, stripped him of his pride

    G7                          Cmaj7
Oh, everyone was laughing up un til the day he died

Fmaj7                         Bm7-5
    Oh, though the wound went deep

           Em7                   Am
Still he's calling us out of our sleep

   Dm7                G7
My friends, we're not alone

            Cmaj7                  Bbsus2
He waits in silence to lead us all ho..........o-ome

       Dm
Well I know, I know, I know

        Dm6                               Dm7
