Am Em Am Em Am Am F C G Am F G The moonlight it was dancing On the waves, out on the sea Am F C G Am Em The stars of heaven hovered In a shimmering galaxy F G Am Em A voice from down the ages So haunting in its song Am F C G Am Dm Am These ancient stones will tell us Our love must make us strong Em Am Em Am F C G Am F G The breeze it wrapped around me As I stood there on the shore Am F C G Am Em And listened to this voice Like I've never heard before F G Am Em Our battles they may find us No choice may ours to be Am F C G Am Dm Am But hold the banner proudly The truth will set us free
Em Am Em Am Em Am Em Am F C G Am F G My mind was called across the years Of rages and of strife Am F C G Am Em Of all the human misery And all the waste of life F G Am Em We wondered where our God was In the face of so much pain Am F C G Am Dm Am I looked up to the stars above To find you once again Em Am Em | Am F | C G | Am | F G | | Am F | C G | Am | Em | | F | G | Am | Em | | Am F | C G | Am Dm | Am | Em Am Em Am F C G Am F G We travelled the wide oceans Heard many call your name Am F C G Am Em With sword and gun and hatred It all seemed much the same F G Am Em Some used your name for glory Some used it for their gain Am F C G Am Dm Am Yet when liberty lay wanting No lives were lost in vain Em Am Em Am F C G Am F G Is it not our place to wonder As the sky does weep with tears Am F C G Am Em And all the living creatures Look on with mortal fear F G Am Em It is ours to hold the banner It is ours to hold it long Am F C G Am Dm Am It is ours to carry forward Our love must make us strong Em Am Em Am Em Am Em Am F C G Am F G And as the warm wind carried Its song into the night Am F C G Am Em I closed my eyes and tarried Until the morning light F G Am Em As the last star it shimmered And the new sun's day gave birth Am F C G Am Dm Am It was in this magic moment Came this prayer for mother earth Em Am Em Am F C G Am F G The moonlight it was dancing On the waves, out on the sea Am F C G Am Em The stars of heaven hovered In a shimmering galaxy F G Am Em A voice from down the ages So haunting in its song Am F C G Am Dm Am The ancient stones will tell us Our love must make us strong. Em Am Em Am Em and fade:
