Father, my wings are clipped, see the steps that made me trip
Dm         F   G
Now I'm so lonely
Am      C             F              C             F    G  Fmaj7  G
Mother, time's frozen flames seem to linger in the rain

Holding me only
 
       C                 Dm             F         G       F
Like a river I'm flowing    and there's no way of knowing
       C               Dm        F            G          Am
If I'm coming or going,   I need something to chain me down

Don't matter,      my eyes  have seen for better

Dm            F G
All I've been doing
Am      C            F        C              F     G  Fmaj7  G
Father, proud that I am to be born into such hands
     Dm        F  G   F
Your love so renewing
     
      C                  Dm              F                 G       F
And I know I can lose it,   it's part of life, you can't choose it
     C                   Dm         F             G     Am
As I touched the horizon,   it just felt like I'd die soon

Don't matter,      my eyes  have seen for better

And like a river I'm flowing,   I need something to chain me down
      C/G    Fmaj7     Csus4 G/B  Am       C/G
Don't matter,      and now   I've seen for better
Fmaj7  G          Am
Out of blue comes green
         C/G     Fmaj7  G          Am    G  F  G
It don't matter, out of blue comes green
 
Am  G  F  G  Am  G  F  G  Am  G  F  G  Am  G  F  G  Am  G  F  G  Am  G  F  G
