AmWhen the Gdark wood fell beCfore me
AmAnd all the Gpaths were overFgrown
AmWhen the Gpriests of pride Csay there is no other way
AmI tilled the Gsorrows of Fstone
I did not believe because I could not see
Though you came to me in the night
When the dawn seemed forever lost
You showed me your love in the light of the stars
DmCast your Ceyes on the Gocean
FCast your Gsoul to the Csea
DmWhen the Cdark night seems Gendless
FPlease reGmember Fme
Then the mountain rose before me
By the deep well of desire
From the fountain of forgiveness
Beyond the ice and fire
Cast your eyes on the ocean
Cast your soul to the sea
When the dark night seems endless
Please remember me
Ami, F, C, F, C, G 2x
Though we share this humble path, alone
How fragile is the heart
Oh give these clay feet wings to fly
To touch the face of the stars
Breathe life into this feeble heart
Lift this mortal veil of fear
Take these crumbled hopes, etched with tears
We'll rise above these earthly cares
Cast your eyes on the ocean
Cast your soul to the sea
When the dark night seems endless
Please remember me
Please remember me
