i told them all the ones i love
C# / Fm D#m
i'm leaving and i may not return
C# / Fm /
see lately i've been overcome
C# / Fm D#m
the feeling i fear has just begun
F# C#
the pain i feel deep inside
F# C#
that haunts us all that we will die
F# C# G# / / /
never really knowing how it feels
C# F# G# Fm
to be alive
C# F# G# Fm
C# / Fm /
through mountains and over seas
C# Fm D#m
through misery and disease
C# / Fm /
a spectator i played my part
C# / Fm D#m
but nothing could move this heart
F# C#
until i held the boy's hand
F# C#
the little one spoke like a man
F#
he showed me death and said
C# G# / / /
this is how you know you're alive
C# F# G# Fm
C# F# G# Fm
alive
C# / Fm D#m /
a kingfisher in flight
F# / C# /
you'll rise above this sea of doubts
F# / C# / (last beat silent on "yah")
into a world full of clouds - yah
