Intro: Gm / Eb F / Bb F Bb F Gm F Bb F Bb F
                  Gm
Do you ever look around
turn your ear to the ground
           Eb
show your face to the sky

     F                            Bb
on a night when the skies echo sounds
from inside of your mind
          F            
on the stage that you shone

                 Bb        Gm     F
where the sun did become you

     Gm
and move with your thoughts
through the sighs and the scenes
         F
of the worlds you have seen
and the sights that have been
        Bb                               F
your reflection in shadows and dreams?

                                          Bb      F
- your reflection in shadows and dreams

                    Gm
Did you ever see a man
who did walk down the street
Eb                  F
white robe with no shoes on his feet

        Bb
and on top of his head place a box with two slits

          F
and the sign from his neck said 
'I do not exist' Bb / F
      F
or a woman who could not remember her name

     Eb
did stutter and stutter 

F
again and again

     Bb
and saw you and called you her son 
her eyes said
     F
'my being is gone 
but still I'm not dead'? Bb / F
Gm    Eb F
Oh miserere

      Bb

Miserere

      Gm Eb F
Miserere

                     Gm
Have you ever seen a sound
have you listened to an image
         Eb
have you ever touched a thought

         F
have you ever tasted nothing

         Bb
have you ever told a lie
that was true more than truth
        F
because truth it had lied

                               Bb  Gm   F
all its life when it spoke to you?

    Gm
And what did it say
it is that it is this
          Eb
this goes here here is there
it is not yes it is
       Gm
it was dulling your senses
your eyes they were bound
         F
have you ever my friends

                    E6 F
been looking around?

          G
And the other replies
with a wave of a hand
       Eb
I am already here 

            F
in this promised land

     Bb
but not by a god and not by a king

     F
and not by a spirit

Bb                 F
deep from within

       Gm
I am here 
because a miracle's a whim
         F
it's a flash of glory
it's an empty tin
     Eb
and maybe might lets you in
Bb F Bb
         F
not to save you
but to keep on looking-
Gm    Eb F
Oh miserere

Eb
Have you ever 

         F
been so happy that you're sad?

           Bb           
that the lights turn to stars 

         Eb
and the stars become eyes

      F
and hellos are goodbyes
and the laughs are the sighs and the show disappears with the note
             Eb
'until next time'

F          Bb
Long live living

     Eb           F
if living can be this
x3 D .... Gm Bb E F Bb F Bb F Bb Gm F Bb

Do you ever look around

                            Bb
and find what is yet to be found?
F Bb
