Verse 1:
C#m E A E
We are slaves to these age-old afflictions
A B A E
Fighting for control 'till we fell too far
C#m B A E
Pursue desire, ignore our convictions
A B A E
Only wretched souls beneath the weeping stars
Pre-Chorus 1:
C#m E A E
We are calling out in the thick of the war
C#m E A B
I am standing down to fight for something more
C#m E A B
Would we cease these battles, let this love resound
C#m B A E
Still too hard to find our common ground
C#m B E A
There's a fire that stays bold and courageous
C#m B E
There's a light to light the way
C#m B E A
There's a fire that stays bold and courageous
C#m B E
There's a light to light the way
Verse 2:
C#m E A E
And we try so hard to heal our diseases
A B A E
We break to pieces when our hope has failed
C#m B A E
Some will live or die without a reason
A B A E
Such are the seasons, still our faith prevails
Pre-Chorus 2:
C#m E A E
We are lost and found and beg to be restored
C#m E A B
We keep falling down, harder than before
C#m E A B
But love will find a way to give us strength to carry on
C#m B A E
Sorrow for now, but someday soon be gone
Chorus
Verse 3:
C#m E A E
So we come and go, it's still a mystery
A B A E
And we'll be history long before we find
C#m B A E
All the secrets since now and forever
A B A E
We hope for better on the other side
Bridge:
C#m A E B
God, hear the cries of your people! (4x)
Chorus
