^AmI have been cruel and kind without knowing, I ^Ffell into silence overwhelmed by these days, For ^DmI had been shown empty rulers, ruling ^Eall things.

^AmThinking the world was mine to lay hold of, I ^Fbreathed in the promise of maiden and man, But ^Dmeach had their own illusions to hold ^Eon to.

^AmI only ^Gwant to be left to my ^Fown ways, ^AmThe rulers have ^Gwon leaving all things ^Fundone, ^Em ^AmI've stood in ^Gawe of the whole cre^Fation, ^EmGathered among them was the ^Fmorning , Giving all its ^Amrest.

^AmThinking the world was mine to be lost in, I ^Fran with a freedom and sang in between, For ^DmI had the path of wonder, there ^Ebefore me.

^AmI only ^Gwant to be left to my ^Fown ways, ^AmThe rulers have ^Gwon leaving all things ^Fundone, ^Em ^AmI've stood in ^Gawe of the whole cre^Fation, ^EmGathered among them was the ^Fmorning, Giving all its ^Amrest.
