               G          A           D 
These are the hands that build cathedrals 
               G          A            Bm 
These are the hands that feed the world 
               G          A       D           Bm 
These are the hands that kill the ones we heal 
  G            A        D 
These are the hands of man 

              G          A          D 
These are the eyes that see the wonders 
              G           A           Bm 
These are the eyes that greet the dawn 
              G          A        D     Bm 
These are the eyes that see the glory of  
      G           A       D 
The place that is our home 

               G           A         D 
These are the wounds that tell of anger 
               G            A          Bm 
These are the wounds that speak of hate 
              G         A       D       Bm 
Yet there was one that gave his only son 
      G            A            D   G A 
And these are the wounds... of love 

              D 
And we have crossed the oceans 
         D 
We have followed the stars 
         G 
We have learned to reason 
              A 
And we have studied the heart 
        D 
We can build cathedrals 
        D 
We are part of the plan 
         G 
We have sailed the skies 
     A      D 
For we are man! 

               G       A          D 
These are the days to live forever 
               G           A        Bm 
These are the days of the human race 
                G      A         D           Bm 
For there will come a time when we'll be gone 
 G           A      D 
Gone without a trace 

                G          A          D 
These are the dreams that take us forward 
                G          A             Bm 
These are the dreams that walked the moon 
                G          A        D        Bm 
These are the dreams that make us what we are 
  G             A           D  G A D  G A 
These are the dreams... of Man!

And we have studied the heart 
        D 
We can build cathedrals 
        D 
We can sail the skies 
        G 
We have energy hostage 
         A 
Turning day into night 

        D 
We are far from perfect 
        D 
We are making mistakes 
         G 
We can change direction 
           A 
'Cos it's never too late 
         D 
We can cross over bridges 
       D 
We can open our hands 
       G 
To a brand new world 
 A      D  G A D  G A 
We are man!
