A Dadd9
I will be the gladdest thing
D D
Under the sun
A Dadd9
I will touch a hundred flowers
D Esus
And not pick one.
A Dadd9
I will look at cliffs and clouds
D F#m
With quiet eyes,
Bm F#m
Watch the wind bow down the grass,
Bm Esus
And the grass rise.

Doesn't each of us have a place

Where we belong.

Could be a sidewalk crack
Esus
Or a sad song.

Inside our searchings is desire

To etch a silent thought in stone

To make a tender heart known.

Everybody wants to be a hero

To forget not the beauty of the in-betweens.

Every one of us an orphan
Bm D Esus
Our bodies born from dust of the stars.

We can comfort each other in this place

And see my own face.
