              Intro: Eb  Bb  F  Gm 
Eb  Bb  Gm  Dm 
Eb  Bb  F  Gm 
Eb 
 
Eb         Bb     F          Gm 
  A lonely boy, a handful of dreams 
Eb          Bb              Gm          Dm 
  Cold wind blows through a heart wired-in 
Eb      Bb   F          Gm 
  Open skies he would explore 
Eb  Bb             F 
 No there ain't no mastery 
     Eb            Gm        F 
Of a passion and a deep blue love 
 
Eb        Bb  F          Gm 
 Yearn to see far away places 
Eb           Bb    Gm           Dm 
 One day he'd feel two hearts collide 
Eb       Bb  F          Gm 
 In his eyes tears and desire 
        Eb          Bb         F 
But he prays and he swears every night 
    Eb              Gm         F 
One day scales will fall from her eyes 
 
 C         F 
(Just with a dream) 
                             C    (G)   F 
Just with a dream and with a song 
                 Am         G 
On my own I may stumble and fall 
         C         F               Am 
It don't matter at all when you're blessed with 
     G             F                         G 
Just what's yet to come, what's yet to come 
 
 
Eb                    Bb 
  Burning feet on the ground 
                   Fm 
Got my head in the clouds 
       Eb            Bb 
You're out to find Arcadia 
Eb                      Bb 
  And you know you will stand 
                    Fm 
What you can't comprehend 
Eb             Bb 
 Journey to Arcadia 
 
Dm                    (C)    F 
  The more I've seen I understand 
                         C      Dm 
That there ain't nothing that I know 
              C      F 
As I awake on padded ground 
                  C       Eb 
The final curtain of the show 
 
Eb               Bb 
   Dogs run barking 
      F          Gm 
And I don't hear no sound 
Eb                 Bb 
  And the sky is as blue 
  Gm              Dm 
As eyes have never seen it 
Eb        Bb 
 Then I remember 
         F               Gm 
What I'd have been dying for 
Eb    Bb     F 
Faith rescue my dream 
       Eb                  Gm 
From a role that I've been put in 
    F 
On their screen 
 
      C     F 
(Your eyes) 
                           C     F 
And as I'll look into your eyes 
                 (F)      (C) 
We're at the crack of dawn 
           Am          G 
Life will stop telling lies 
    C           F 
And destiny will know 
                    G 
It's just you and I 
 
 
Eb                    Bb 
  Burning feet on the ground 
                   Fm 
Got my head in the clouds 
Eb            Bb 
 Journey to Arcadia 
Eb                 Bb 
  And I know I will stand 
                  Fm 
What I can't comprehend 
Eb             Bb 
 Journey to Arcadia 
 
Dm                   (C)    F 
  The more we see we understand 
                       C         Dm 
That there's a lot that we don't know 
                C      F 
As you awake on padded ground 
                  C       Eb 
The final curtain of the show 
 
Gm 
    Far from the eye but close to heart 
Eb 
    No matter how we try 
Gm 
    Can't repel the counterpart 
Eb                       Bb 
    Our common bond we can't defy 
                                       F 
Solo: Sascha Paeth (Oh, wishing on an angel) 
Gm  Eb 
 
Gm 
   I've seen them standing at the crossroads 
Eb 
   When they were waiting for a sign 
Gm 
   And they unlearned to face the silence 
Eb 
   As they unlearned to turn inside 
 
Bb 
   You're turning to the sky 
                        F 
And you're dying for an angel 
Gm                                      Eb 
  If you want it bad enough, see those eyes 
That's where two glances collide 
 
          Bb      Eb       Bb 
Learn to breathe, learn to crawl 
C#       Ab     C#       Ab 
Learn to stand, walk and fall 
Eb       Bb   Eb     Bb    C#    Ab 
Learn to lose and to love, to believe, to rise above 
C#      Ab        E5 
Love is more than to love

Eb                    Bb 
  Burning feet on the ground 
                   Fm 
Got my head in the clouds 
       Eb            Bb 
You're out to find Arcadia 
Eb                      Bb 
  And you know you will stand 
                    Fm 
What you can't comprehend 
Eb             Bb 
 Journey to Arcadia 
 
(Tobias Sammet) 
Dm                     C      F 
  The more I've seen I understand 
                                C 
That there ain't nothing that I know now 
Dm              C      F 
  As I awake on padded ground 
                  C           Eb 
The final curtain of the show
