[Verse 1]
A
Could this be the day I have waited for
D
When all my hard work doesn't go ignored?
Maybe she was right, they will realize
A
I can change the world, open up their eyes
They know I am more than some eager blood
D
Not some average bones, I believe in love
I just want to prove I deserve this gift
A
I will change this world, baby this is it
A
[Verse 2]
A
I can see it now, all the colors smear
D
Up and down the page, but the shapes are there
I will build the lamps in this reverie
A
Then they'll understand this was meant for me
This is my fate
I can almost hear them say
[Chorus]
D G A
Let the lamps shine
Let them burn so bright
Bm G A
Open all our eyes, shower us in light
D G A
Let the lamps shine
Let them burn so bright
Bm
Set the sky ablaze
G
Fill the night with paint
A
Smother all the shade
Flood it through my blood
Breathe it through my lungs
Give us all your love
A D G
[Verse 3]
A
They know I am more than some eager blood
D
Not some average bones, I believe in love
A
I just want to prove I deserve this gift
Bm A
I will change this world, baby this is it
[Verse 4]
A
I can see it now floating like a dream
Right above my head
D
Perfect symmetry
Lines in harmony
A
I can see his face
When he sees the lamps
I can hear him say
[Chorus]
D G A
Let the lamps shine
Let them burn so bright
Bm G A
Open all our eyes, shower us in light
D G A
Let the lamps shine
Let them burn so bright
Bm
Set the sky ablaze
G
Fill the night with paint
A
Smother all the shade
Flood it through my blood
Breathe it through my lungs
Give us all your love
D G Em
[Bridge]
D A
Dream with your eyes closed
Em D
Try and pluck the pearls from your bones
Bm A#
All the plans pirouette right through my mind become set
Em D F#
The lines become definite, glowing hues fill this vignette
Bm A#
Tall and proud, the lamps will stand built from these two very hands
D Em D
No one will be able to deny my skill, nor love for you
G A
Dream with your eyes closed
Bm G A
Try and pluck the pearls from your bones
[Chorus]
G D A
Let the lamps shine
Bm G A D
Open all our eyes, shower us in light
G D A
Let the lamps shine
Let them burn so bright
Bm
Set the sky ablaze
G
Fill the night with paint
A
Smother all the shade
Flood it through my blood
Breathe it through my lungs
Give us all your love

C G F Dm
You can't change me
C G F
You can't have me
C F
The vision of the world had been realized
Dm
But the sculpture of the Earth was looked upon by jealous eyes
C G Em
Ahrima refused to relent, he demanded to be heard
G Dm
"Let my unique deft hands be known!" he asserted
C G
But even this brash avowal was met in return by no mouthful
Em
O simply just smiled
G F Dm
So, defeated and galled, Ahrima headed for the darkness
C G
No one seemed to understand. Only the shadows would hearken
F G
He sat in peace, but on his shoulder, at rest
Bm
Perched a dinky, brownish spider, named Barayas
A
Could this be the day I have waited for
D
When all my hard work doesn't go ignored?
Maybe she was right, they will realize
A
I can change the world, open up their eyes
They know I am more than some eager blood
