VERSE:
Eb   Bb      Ab    Eb
It is said that when we leave this world
Eb     Bb     Ab   Eb
If we have suffered we will be saved
Eb         Bb   Ab   Eb
So I'll lift up my head, whoever I am
Eb        Bb       Ab     Eb
What I cannot do here, there's a place that I can

In this life, though I've tried

Many things couldn't be
 Eb        Bb      Ab    Eb
Closed minds with faces looking down onto me
 Eb       Bb    Ab       Eb
Parting means grief, but only for those left

All men descend into earth at the very same depth

VERSE:
Eb       Bb      Ab      Eb
I wonder if in death, man at last can love man
 Eb          Bb       Ab    Eb
Stripped of all life's gifts to him no ego to remain
 Eb           Bb        Ab       Eb
When you reach Jordan's bank, there's no money, power or fame
Eb      Bb        Ab       Eb
No third or second class, the fare is all the same
