Sleeping At Last - Emphasis

^GDeath is promised^C to the bee ^GWho's sting protects ^Cthe colony. ^AmWas its life worth ^Cnothing more Than ^Dhoney for the ^Gqueen?

^GLife is a branch^C and it is a dove, ^GHandcrafted by^C confusing love. ^AmSign language is ^Cour reply, When ^Dchurch bells make no ^Gsound.

^GIn hollow towers^C and empty hives, ^GWe craved sweetness^C with a fear of heights. ^AmWas it all just a ^Cgrain of sand ^DIn an hourgl^Emass? ^{C D}

The ^Csmartest thing I've^G ever learned ^DIs that I don't have ^Emall the answers, ^CJust a little ^Glight to call my ^Down. Though it ^Cpales in com^Gparison ^DTo the over^Emarching shadows, ^CA speck of light can ^Greignite the ^Dsun And ^D7swallow darkness ^Gwhole.

^GDeath is a cold,^C blindfolded kiss. ^GIt is the finger pressed ^Cupon our lips. ^AmIt puts an unwanted ^Cemphasis On ^Dhow we should have ^Glived.

^GLife is a gorgeous, ^Cbroken gift. ^GSix billion+ pieces ^Cwaiting to be fixed. ^AmLove letters that were ^Cnever signed, ^DSent to where we ^Emlive. ^{C D}

But the ^Csweetest thing I've^G ever heard ^DIs that I don't have to ^Emhave the answers, ^CJust a little ^Glight to call my ^Down. Though it ^Cpales in com^Gparison ^DTo the overa^Emrching shadows, ^CA speck of light can ^Greignite the ^Dsun And swallow darkness ^Cwhole.
