Lời & hợp âm

[Intro 1]
[C][F][C][F][C][F][C][F]

[Verse 1]
I was [C]visited
by the power and the glory
I was [F]visited by a majestic hymn
[C]Great bolts of lightning
Lightning up the sky
[F]Electricity flowing through my veins

[Verse 2]
I was [C]captured by a larger moment
I was [F]seized by divinity's hot breath
[C]Gorged like a lion on experience
[F]Powerful from life
I [Eb]wanted all of it -
Not [F]some of it

[Verse 3]
I [F]saw [Gm]a ma[C]n turn into a bird
I saw a [F]bird turn into a tiger
I saw [C]a man hang from a cliff
by the tips of his toes
In the [F]jungles of the amazon
I saw a man [C]put a red hot
needle through his eye
Turn into a [F]crow and fly
through the trees
Swal[C]lows hot coals and
breathe out flames
And i [F]wanted this to happen to me ...
I wanted [Eb]all o[F]f it -
Not some of it
[Gm]

[Verse 4]
We saw [C]the moon vanish into his pocket
We saw [F]the stars disappear from sight
We saw him [C]walk across
water into the sun
While [F]bathed in eternal light
We spewed out [C]questions
waiting for answers
Creating le[F]gends, religions and myths
[C]Books, stories, movies and plays
All [F]trying to explain [Eb]this
[F]I wanted all of it -
Not some [Gm]of it
[G]I saw a

[Verse 5]
[C]great man turn into
a little [F]child
[C]The cancer reduced him [F]to dust
His [C]voice growing weak as
he fought for [F]his life
With [C]a bravery few men [F]know
I saw [C]isotopes introduced into his lungs
[F]Trying to [C]stop the cancerous spr[F]ead
And it made [C]me think of [F]leda and the swan
And [C]gold being made from [F]lead
The same [C]power that
burned hiroshima
Causing [F]three legged babies and death
[C]Shrunk to the size of a nickel
To [F]help him regain his breath
And i was [C]struck by the power and the glory
I was [F]visited by a majestic him
Great [C]bolts of lightning
shooting up his veins
As the [F]radiation flowed through him
He [Eb]wanted all of [F]it
Not (just) some of it
[Gm]
