Capo 1
C
If we can cross at the place that divides us.
Cross the river, the river so wide,
If we can smother the pain that's inside us,
G
Deny the demons that wait by our side,
F C
We can find, find the light
C
Our nights are filled with the light of the same moon,
We share the comfort of the same stars.
Our days are bright with the light of the same sun,
G
That don't matter, can't you see what we are,
F C
What we are, what we become?
F/C G/C
Keep our sights on the way ahead,
F/D G/D
Don't look back, it won't help us now.
C/E Em F
The storm we left so far behind
C/G G/A
Seems a dark memory that starts to fade,
F/D C
But till we see the light we will not be safe.
C
We all sink or swim in the same ocean,
Break our skin and we will bleed
Our minutes pass with the same motion,
G
We face the same danger, we share the same needs,
F C
We're all the same, you and me.
F/C G/C
Keep our sights on the way ahead,
F/D G/D
Don't look back, that won't help us now.
C/E Em F
Upstream, the river gets too wide
C/G G/A
So we must build that bridge right here,
F/D C
Cause if we wait we will not reach the other side.
Solo: C G F/G C
F G
See under that clear blue sky
Am G
The winds of change are blowing hard and long,
F G C
And they'll not stop to rest 'cause the change is gonna come
[Percussion only until G]
C
Our nights are filled with the light of the same moon,
We share the comfort of the same stars.
Our days are bright with the light of the same sun,
G
That don't matter, can't you see what we are,
F C
What we are, what we become?
F/C G/C
Keep our sights on the way ahead,
F/D G/D
Don't look back, it won't help us now.
C/E Em F
Cause upstream the river gets too wide
C/G G/A
And if we don't build that bridge right here, right now,
F/D C
You know we'll never ever reach the other side.
