E F#
With all the legends that the century sings
A E
And it's vision bring to life
E F#
While foreign waters breathe against the shore
A E
And the wind plays ore it's rusted fife
C#m G#m
I see the ships of a friendly fleet
A E
And a song so sweetly sounding
C#m G#m
And gentle souls who think not to defeat
A E
As across the waves they are bounding
E F#
And then the thoughts of all the days this time
A E
They have been confined without reason
E F#
And in the matters of their health and wealth
A E
They cannot be defined but as treason
C#m G#m
But go where and find the better life
A E
As in the name of love you have freed them
C#m G#m
And those you need not you have left behind
A E
And those you keep in mind you know to heed them
E F#
Across the bridge, across the river
A E
Where we've never been before
E F#
Within and out of worlds around us
A E
And in the light of finding more
C#m G#m
We always easy understood that
A E
It was no good not to explore
C#m G#m
But never really understood that
A E
It was no good just to ignore
