we make roads out of rubble

A A 4#

and songs out of cries

E Emaj7 A

but one can never live a lie too long

E Emaj7 E

sorrow and joy find my love in another way

A A 4#

still, my heart opens to you and I’m

E Emaj7 A

feeling clearer, feeling stronger as I grow

E Emaj7 E

I’ve learned it’s best to mostly listen

A A 4#

with due respect, and patiently

E Emaj7 E

to watch what is happening

A A 4#

and always speak from the heart

E Emaj7 E

ah, we do what we must do

A A 4#

and we learn what we can

E Emaj7 E

like my friend said, take a deep breath

A E E2 Asus4

‘cause we’re in for the very long haul

E A E 2 Asus4 A

lift the burden ‘cause we’re in for the very long haul
