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

Gm Dm
Doesn't each of us have a place
Dm
Where we belong.
Gm
Could be a sidewalk crack
Csus
Or a sad song.
Gm Dm
Inside our searchings is desire
Gm Am Dm
To etch a silent thought in stone
Gm Am Dm A# Csus
To make a tender heart known.

And when the lights begin to show

Up from the town,
Gm Dm
I will mark which must be mine,
A# C F Dadd9 A# A#
And then start down!

Gm Dm
Everybody wants to be a hero
Gm Csus
Or a savior of small things
Gm Dm
I want to be champion of evening
Gm Am Dm A# Csus
To forget not the beauty of the in-betweens.
Dm Dadd9
Every one of us an orphan
Gm A# Csus
Our bodies born from dust of the stars.
Dm Dadd9
We can comfort each other in this place
Gm A#
I can look into your eyes
Csus
And see my own face.
