VERSE 1:

( Em )
You shout in your sleep.
            Am
Perhaps the price is just too steep.
        Em                         
Is your conscience at rest if once 
Am
put to the test?
    Em                             
You awake with a start to just the 
Am
beating of your heart.
Just one man beneath the sky, just 
    G     D       Em
two ears, just two eyes.
G    D    Am    Em


VERSE 2:
       ( Em )                        
You set sail across the sea of long 
      Am
past thoughts and memories.
            Em                 
Childhood's end, your fantasies 
           Am
merge with harsh realities.
         Em                        
And then as the sail is hoist, you 
          Am
find your eyes are growing moist.
All the fears never voiced so you 
        G         D     Am
have to make your final choice.
G    D

VERSE 3:

        Em                         
Who are you and who am I to say we 
Am
know the reason why?
         Em                        
Some are born; some men die beneath
     Am
 one infinite sky.
            Em                     
There'll be war, there'll be peace,
     Am
 but everything one day will cease.
All the iron turned to rust; all the
 G         D         Em
 proud men turned to dust.
       Am                     G
So all things time will mend, so 
       D         Em
this song will end.
