Dm        Bb        C            Dm      C 
Here in a church, a small boy is kneeling 
Dm            Bb      C              Dm            C 
He prays to a god, he does not know, he cannot feel 
Dm         Bb      C            Dm           C 
All of his sins of childhood he will remember 
Dm          Bb   C                 Dm 
He will not cry, tears he will not cry 
 
Dm      Am      C                Bb  C 
Man of sorrows, I won't see your face 
Dm      Am      C                  Bb   C 
Man of sorrows, you left without a trace 
Dm          Am       C               Bb    C 
A small boy wonders, what was it all about? 
Dm              Am     C           G 
Is your journey over - has it just begun? 
 
( Dm  C  Dm  C  Bb  C  Dm  D7 ) 
 
Dm          Bb                C            Dm  C 
A vision of a new world, from the ashes of the old 
Dm          Bb         C                Dm          C 
"Do what thou wilt!", he screams from his cursed soul 
Dm          Bb   C              Dm        C 
A tortured seer, a prophet of our emptiness 
Dm      Bb   C         Dm 
Wondering why, wondering why... 
 
Dm      Am      C                Bb  C 
Man of sorrows, I won't see your face 
Dm      Am      C                  Bb   C 
Man of sorrows, you left without a trace 
Dm          Am       C               Bb    C 
A small boy wonders, what was it all about? 
Dm              Am     C           G 
Is your journey over - has it just begun? 
 
  Dm             Bb             C                     Dm           C 
A man of sorrows racked, with thoughts that dare not speak their name 
Dm             Bb    C                 Dm              C 
trapped inside a body, made to feel only guilt and shame 
Dm              Bb     C                   Dm    C 
His anger all his life -"I hate myself!", he cried 
Dm          Bb         C                    Dm 
"Do what thou wilt! - do what thou wilt!", he cried 
 
Dm      Am      C                Bb  C 
Man of sorrows, I won't see your face 
Dm      Am      C                  Bb   C 
Man of sorrows, you left without a trace 
Dm          Am       C               Bb    C 
A small boy wonders, what was it all about? 
Dm              Am     C           G 
Is your journey over - has it just begun? 
 
Dm      Am      C                Bb  C 
Man of sorrows, I won't see your face 
Dm      Am      C                  Bb   C 
Man of sorrows, you left without a trace 
Dm          Am       C               Bb    C 
A small boy wonders, what was it all about? 
Dm              Am     C           G 
Is your journey over - has it just begun? 
 
( Dm  Am  Dm  Am ) 
 
Bb     C     Dm 
Has it just begun?
