Where Is It Written

Ab                          
There's not a morning I begin 
without a thousand questions running
              Ab7
 through my mind
             Ab                    
That I don't try to find the reason
 and the logic in the world that God
   Fm
 designed
           Ab/Eb           Gm D   
The reason why, a bird was gi-ven 
Gm
wings
          C7                     
If not to fly, and praise the sky 
            Fm   C  F
with every song it sings
                Fm            
What's right or wrong, where I 
   Bb              Cm     G  Cm  
belong within the scheme of 
  B+   Eb/Bb   F/A   Ab   Eb   
things
Bbm   Eb

             Ab                    
And why have eyes that see and arms
 that reach unless you're meant to 
                       Ab7
know there's something more
          Ab                       
If not to hunger for the meaning of
 it all then tell me what a soul is 
Fm
for
             Ab/Eb               
Why have the wings unless you're 
Gm    D  Gm
meant to fly
            Eb7                    
And tell me please why have a mind 
          Fm  C    Fm
if not to question why

[Chorus]
            Bbm               
And tell me where, where is it 
                 Eb
written what it is I'm meant to be
             Ab                    
That I can't dare to have the 
              Db
chance to pick the fruit of every 
tree
           Bbm                 
Or have my share of every sweet 
          C
imagined possibility
             Fm     Eb      Ab
Just tell me where, tell me where


[Verse 2]
          Ab                    
If I were only meant to tend the 
nest then why does my imagination 
 Ab7
sail
           Ab                    
Across the mountains and the seas 
beyond the make-believe of any fairy
  Fm
 tale
             Ab/Eb            Gm  
Why have the thirst if not to 
  D   Gm
drink the wine
           Eb7                     
And what a waste to have a taste of
             Fm    C  Fm
 things that can't be mine


[Chorus]
            Bbm               
And tell me where, where is it 
                 Eb7
written what it is I'm meant to be
             Ab             
That I can't dare to see the 
                 Db
meanings in the mornings that I see
           Bbm                 
Or have my share of every sweet 
          C
imagined possibility
             Fm                
Just tell me where, where is it 
 Eb               Fm
written, tell me where
   Db9                 Ab
Or if it's written anywhere
