this is a very simple interpretation, but works well :)

^EmMoses was ^Gold, a chill in his ^Dbones ^AmFalling ^Capart, he knew in his ^Gheart that his time had ^Dcome

^EmAs he lay in his ^Gtent in the hot desert ^Dsands ^AmHe smiled at how ^Che would never ^Gsee his promised ^Dland

He sang, &^Cquot;I could ^Dhave lived^Em and died ^Cadd9An Egyptian ^Gprince, could have played ^Csafe

^GBut in the end journey's brought ^Djoys That outweigh the ^Gpain"

^EmNow Odysseus ^Gsat tired and ^Dalone

He'd always held out against all the doubts he would come home

^EmNow he was ^Ghere, his soul felt ^Destranged

^AmHis wife and his ^Cdog, his son and his ^Ggods, everything ^Dchanged He sang, &^Cquot;I could ^Dhave staye^Emd and ruled

^Cadd9As an Ithacan ^Gprince, could've played ^Csafe ^GBut in the end journey's brought ^Djoys

That outweigh the ^Gpain"

^EmNow Balthazar ^Grode for seven long ^Dyears ^AmEastwards and ^Cfar, he followed his ^Gstar and it brought him ^Dhere

^EmTo a stable in ^Gruins in some backwater ^Dtown ^AmTo a virgin ^Cdefiled, no king but a ^Gchild, too small for a ^Dcrown

He sang, &^Cquot;I could ^Dhave lived wit^Emh my Gods ^Cadd9As a Persian ^Gprince, I could've played ^Csafe

But in the ^Gend journey's brought ^Djoys That outweigh the ^Gpain"

^EmPaupers and kings, ^Gprinces and thieves Singers of ^Csongs, ^Drighters of wrongs, be what you ^Gbelieve

^EmSaddle your ^Ghorse, shoulder your ^Dload ^CBurst at the seams, ^Dbe what you dream and then take to the ^Groad
