G Am
Why do you wander like you do?
Am C
Oh, my soul,
G Am
You’ve got nothing left to prove.
Am C
Oh, my soul,
G Am
Let me get out of your way,
Am C
Oh, my soul,
G Am F
Wake up and seize the day.
[Verse 1]
F C G Gadd4 G
I’ve been listening to my heart’s poetry
F C G
Try to cast aside what I don’t need,
F C E7 Am
But you can't outrun those voices from the past,
D Gadd4 G
But you can put them down in the place that they should be.
[Chorus]
Am C
Oh, my soul,
G Am
Why do you wander like you do?
Am C
Oh, my soul,
G Am
You’ve got nothing left to prove.
Am C
Oh, my soul,
G Am
Let me get out of your way,
Am C
Oh, my soul,
G Am F
Wake up and seize the day.
[Verse 2]
F C G Gadd4 G
I’ve been tracing your long journey,
F C G
The sad contours of your face,
F C E7 Am
And I’ve been thinking that that hunger in your eyes,
D Gadd4 G
Your hidden story and the measure your grace.
[Chorus]
Am C
Oh, my soul,
G Am
Why do you wander like you do?
Am C
Oh, my soul,
G Am
You’ve got nothing left to prove.
Am C
Oh, my soul,
G Am
Let me get out of your way,
Am C
Oh, my soul,
G Am
Wake up and seize the day.

[Verse 3]
F C G Gadd4 G
And all the choruses, all the verses,
F C G
Can never render where things lie,
F C E7 Am
But in this mystery, I’m returning to where I need to be,
D Gadd4 G
Running through this wild and empty sky.
[Chorus]
Am C
Oh, my soul,
G Am
Why do you wander like you do?
Am C
Oh, my soul,
G Am
You’ve got nothing left to prove.
Am C
Oh, my soul,
G Am
Let me get out of your way,
Am C
Oh, my soul,
G Am
Wake up and seize the day.
[Outro]
Am C G Am
Oh, my soul,
Am C G Am
Oh, my soul,
Am C
Oh, my soul,
G Am
Let me get out of your way,
Am C
Oh, my soul,
G Am
Wake up and seize this day.
