[Intro] Dm Dm G G
C                              Am
There's a light that's shining now

F                      C
And a calm wind in the pine

C                          Am   
For the fate of a fearsome travesty

Dm
Seems to have forgotten me

Fmaj7
Seems to have forgotten me

C                       Am
If it hasn't learned by now

F                      C  
Where I've hid so very long

C                             Am 
I'll come safely out into the silence found

Dm
In the wake of its passing on

Fmaj7
In the wake of its passing on

F                   C              Dm             G
A Spartan smile and westward stare hold a promise in the air

F                                      C
That's the way they used to find their own way home

Dm            G
By the stars, on their own

Dm            Fmaj7
By the stars, on their own

C                         Am
While I pray for Promised Land

F                     C
To replace all I have made

C                           Am
Darkness steals the light I bear

Dm
And the hope of a lifetime fades

Fmaj7
The hope of a lifetime fades
[BRIDGE] Dm Dm G G C C F F Dm G C C
C                   Am 
In the newfound reverie

F                C
Of quiet peace I found

C                        Am
Freedom comes from being unafraid

Dm
Of the heartache that can plague a man

Fmaj7
The heartache that can plague a man

F                   C              Dm             G
A Spartan smile and westward stare hold a promise in the air

F                                      C
That's the way they used to find their own way home

Dm            G
By the stars, on their own

Dm            Fmaj7
By the stars, on their own
