Am Em Am Em Am
Am F C G Am F G
The moonlight it was dancing On the waves, out on the sea
Am F C G Am Em
The stars of heaven hovered In a shimmering galaxy
F G Am Em
A voice from down the ages So haunting in its song
Am F C G Am Dm Am
These ancient stones will tell us Our love must make us strong
Em Am Em
Am F C G Am F G
The breeze it wrapped around me As I stood there on the shore
Am F C G Am Em
And listened to this voice Like I've never heard before
F G Am Em
Our battles they may find us No choice may ours to be
Am F C G Am Dm Am
But hold the banner proudly The truth will set us free
Em Am Em Am Em Am Em
Am F C G Am F G
My mind was called across the years Of rages and of strife
Am F C G Am Em
Of all the human misery And all the waste of life
F G Am Em
We wondered where our God was In the face of so much pain
Am F C G Am Dm Am
I looked up to the stars above To find you once again
Em Am Em

Em Am Em
Am F C G Am F G
We travelled the wide oceans Heard many call your name
Am F C G Am Em
With sword and gun and hatred It all seemed much the same
F G Am Em
Some used your name for glory Some used it for their gain
Am F C G Am Dm Am
Yet when liberty lay wanting No lives were lost in vain
Em Am Em
Am F C G Am F G
Is it not our place to wonder As the sky does weep with tears
Am F C G Am Em
And all the living creatures Look on with mortal fear
F G Am Em
It is ours to hold the banner It is ours to hold it long
Am F C G Am Dm Am
It is ours to carry forward Our love must make us strong
Em Am Em Am Em Am Em
Am F C G Am F G
And as the warm wind carried Its song into the night
Am F C G Am Em
I closed my eyes and tarried Until the morning light
F G Am Em
As the last star it shimmered And the new sun's day gave birth
Am F C G Am Dm Am
It was in this magic moment Came this prayer for mother earth
Em Am Em
Am F C G Am F G
The moonlight it was dancing On the waves, out on the sea
Am F C G Am Em
The stars of heaven hovered In a shimmering galaxy
F G Am Em
A voice from down the ages So haunting in its song
Am F C G Am Dm Am
The ancient stones will tell us Our love must make us strong.
Em Am Em Am Em [and fade]
