Em
It's coming from so far away
C C/D
It's hard to say for sure
G G/B C
Whether what I hear is music or the wind
D
Through an open door
Em Eb#5
There's a fire high in the empty sky
G/D C(add9) G
Where the sound meets the shore
G
There's a long distance loneliness
C G D
Rolling out over the desert floor
|Em |Em |C |C |
|Em |Em |C |G |
C Bm
And the years that I spent lost in the mystery
D#dim Em
Fall away leaving only the sound of the drum
G/F
Like a part of me
It speaks to the heart of me
Em
Forget what life used to be
You are what you choose to be
Eb#5 D
It's whatever it is you see
G Gmb5(6)
That life will become
D/F#
Whatever it is you might think you have
Em/G B7/F#
You have nothing to lose
C/G
Through every dead and living thing

Time runs like a fuse
G C D C/E Dsus4/F# G

Though the years give way to uncertainty
D#dim Em
And the fear of living for nothing strangles the will
G/F
There's a part of me
That speaks to the heart of me
Em
Though sometimes it's hard to see
C
It's never far from me
Eb#5 D
Alive in eternity
G
That nothing can kill
Gmb5(6)
Oh Lord
D/F# Em/G B7/F#
Are there really people starving still?
C/G
Look out beyond the walls of Babylon
Em
How long will their needs go unfilled
G C D C/E D7sus4/F# G
I want to say right now I'm going to be a - round
(backgr. vocals: I'm going to be around)
G C D C/E D7sus4/F# G
When the walls and towers are crumbling
(backgr. vocals: When the towers are tumbling down)
G C D C/E D7sus4/F# G
And I will tune my spirit to the gentle sound
(backgr. vocals: I want to hear the sound)
G C D C/E D7sus4/F# G
Of the waters lapping on a higher ground
(backgr. vocals: Of the children laughing)
