We rise again (2001)    (video)

 

    C - G - F (2x)

 

                       C                 - G                          - Dm                         Am

1. When the waves roll on         over the waters       and the ocean cries,

G - C                  - G                                       - Dm                        Am

         we look to        our sons and daughters         to explain our lives.

E              Am                        D

    As if a child could tell us why :

                   C                                  G

    That as sure as the sunrise, as sure as the sea,

           C                                  G

    as sure as the wind in the trees....

 

                 C               F                   G

We rise again in the faces of our children,

                C               F                  G

we rise again in the voices of our song.

                 C                  F                         G

We rise again like the waves out on the ocean,

          F - G                  C

and the.....n we rise again.               + G - F

 

                C                                   G

2. As the light goes dark with the forces of creation,

Dm                         Am

    across a stormy sky,

G - C                   - G                        - Dm                        Am

          we look to        reincarnation           to explain our lives.

E              Am                        D

    As if a child could tell us why :

                   C                                  G

    That as sure as the sunrise, as sure as the sea,

           C                                  G

    as sure as the wind in the trees ...

 

+ CHORUS (2x)   + G - F   - G - F - C
