LA SIbdim
In sudden pain, in empty cold, in blinding light of day
SIm LA SOL
We're given breath and it takes our breath a-way
How cruel to unformed fancy / The way in which we come
Over-whelmed by feeling / And sudden loss of love
And what price dark confining pain, the hardest to forgive
SIm LA SOL SOL/FA# MIm LA
When all at once we're called upon . to live
(Then) by giant hand we're taken / From the shelter of the womb
That dreaded first horizon / The endless empty room
Where communion is lost forever, when a heart first beats alone
SIm LA SOL SOL/FA# MIm LA7
Still, it remembers, no matter how it's grown____________
RE REsus4 RE
We grow____, but grow a-part
RE REsus4 RE
We live____, but more alone
MIm DO
The more to be, the more to see____
To cry aloud that we are free
SIb6 LA
To hide our ancient fear(s) of being alone______
And how we live in darkness / Embracing spiteful cold
Refusing any answers / For no man can be told
That Delivery is delayed until at last we're made aware
SIm LA SOL SOL/FA# MIm
And first reach for love, to find 'twas always there_______
