Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am]

[Verse 1]
I see them [Am]gathered,
see them on the shore
I turned to look once more
And he who knows me not
[G]Takes me to the belly of dark[Am]ness

[Verse 2]
[Am]
The tears [F]run swift and [G]hard
And when they [Am]fall
[F]Even, even the comfort [G]of a stone
Would be a [Am]gain
[Dm]There was [F]a time when I [G]thought
I would [Am]have to give up
But I'm thankful that I'm
Strong as I am
And I'll try to do the best I can
[Dm]Tears will run swift

[Verse 3]
And tears will [Am]come that fall like rain
[Dm]I pray that it's swift
Though tears will [Am]fall as cold as pain

[Verse 4]
[Am]
I pray to the [F]almighty
[G]Let me not to him [Am]do
As he has unto me
Teach my [F]beloved children
Who have been enslaved
[Am]To reach for the light continually

[Verse 5]
[Am]So many times I prayed
So many times I've prayed for you

[Verse 6]
Prayed for you
[Am]
The tears [F]run swift and [G]hard
and cold [Am]as pain
[F]Even, even the comfort of
[G]a stone would be a [Am]gain
[F]Had I not had the strength
and wisdom of a war[G]rior
I would [Am]have to give up
But I'm thankful that I'm
Strong as I am
And I'll try to do the best I can
[Dm]Tears will run swift

[Verse 7]
And tears will [Am]come that fall like rain
[Dm]I pray that it's swift
Though tears will [Am]fall as cold as pain

[Verse 8]
[Am]
I [F]pray to the almighty
[G]Let us not do [Am]as he has unto us
[F]Teach my beloved children
I've been a slave
[C]But reach for the light contin[Am]ually

[Verse 9]
[Am]
[F]Wisdom is the [G]flame
Wisdom is the brave war[Am]rior
Who will carry us into the sun
[F]I pray that it's swift though
Tears will [G]come that [Am]fall like rain

[Interlude 1]
[Am][F][Am]

[Verse 10]
So [Am]many times
So [Am]many times
