THEY HAVE C^FOME TO HAUNT THE CH^AmILDREN, THEY HAVE C^FOME TO WALK THE W^DmIND I CAN H^FEAR THEM AS THEY R^AmUSTLE THROUGH THE T^FREES LOOKING F^FOR THE LOVE THAT K^AmILLED THEM ,SO THAT T^FHEY MIGHT LIVE A^DmGAIN IT'S A S^FIMPLE PRAYER THAT B^AmRINGS ME TO MY K^FNEES WITH D^FRUMS & BELLS & R^AmATTLES,THEY HAVE C^FAUGHT US IN OUR T^DmIME TO W^FATCH THE EAGLE R^AmISE UP FROM THE F^FIRE NOW IS IT T^FRUE WE ARE POSS^AmESSED BY ALL THE O^FNES WE LEAVE BEH^DmIND OR I^FS IT BY THEIR L^AmIVES WE ARE INSP^FIRED

CHORUS

IT'S A N^CEW LIGHT,A N^FEW DAY, L^AmISTENING FOR THE MEANING, L^DEARNING HOW TO SAY IT'S A N^CEW PLACE BUT YOU'VE A^FLWAYS BEEN HERE, YOU'RE JUST L^AmISTENING TO OLD VOICES WITH A ^DNEW EAR

IT'S THE LIVIN' AND THE DYIN' WELL IT SCARES THE YOUNG ONES SO THEY CAN HARDLY CATCH THIER BREATH BEFORE TOO LONG THEY SEE THE TEARS WE'RE CRYING AND THEY WATCH THAT RIVER FLOW AND THEY FOLLOW ON THE BANKS UNTIL IT'S GONE I SURRENDER TO THE MOUNTAINS, I SURRENDER TO THE SEA I SURRENDER TO THE ONE WHO CALLS MY NAME I SURRENDER TO MY LOVER AND TO MY ENEMY I SURRENDER TO THE FACE THAT HOLDS NO SHAME REPEAT CHORUS THERE'S A SPIDER AT MY WINDOW & SHE SPINS A WEB OF TRUTH MORE BEAUTIFUL THAN ALL THESE MEMORIES AND SHE SURELY IS GOD'S ARTIST AS SHE'S CAUGHT THE MORNING DEW IT'S A SIMPLE PRAYER THAT BRINGS ME TO MY KNEES REPEAT CHORUS
