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

G#m D#m
Doesn't each of us have a place

Where we belong.
G#m
Could be a sidewalk crack
C#sus
Or a sad song.
G#m D#m
Inside our searchings is desire
G#m A#m D#m
To etch a silent thought in stone
G#m A#m D#m B C#sus
To make a tender heart known.

Everybody wants to be a hero
G#m C#sus
Or a savior of small things

I want to be champion of evening
G#m A#m D#m B C#sus
To forget not the beauty of the in-betweens.
D#m Dadd9
Every one of us an orphan
G#m B C#sus
Our bodies born from dust of the stars.

I can look into your eyes

And see my own face.
