Lyrics

We're (C)coming to the edge, running on the water,

coming (Am)through the fog, (C)your (Bb)sons (Am)and (Bb)(C)daughters.

(A)Let the river (D)run, let all the (A)dreamers wake the (F#m)(E)nation.

(D)Come, the new (F#m)(E)(A)Jerusalem.

Silver cities (D)rise;

the morning (A)lights the streets that (F#m)lead (E)them.

And (D)sirens call them (F#m)on (E)with a (A)song.

It's (F#m)asking for the (B)taking, (D)trembling,

(A)shaaking. (F#m)Oh, my heart is (G)aching.

We're (E)coming to the edge, (E7)running on the water,

(E)coming through the fog, your sons and daughters.

(C)We, the great and (F)small, stand on a (C)star and blaze a (Am)trail (G)of (F)desire through the (Am)(G)darkling (C)dawn.

It's (Am)asking for the (D)taking.

Come (C)run with me now;

the sky is the color of blue you've never even seen in the eyes of your (Am)Oh,

er. my heart is (Bb)aching.

We're (G)coming to the edge, (G7)running on the water,

(G)coming through the fog, your sons and daughters.

(Am)asking for the (D)taking, (F)trembling, (C)shaaking.

(Am)Oh, my heart is (Bb)aching.

We're (G)coming to the edge, (G7)running on the water,

(G)coming through the fog, your sons and daughters.

(C)Let the river (F)run, let all the (C)dreamers wake the (Am)(G)nation.

(F)Come, the new (Am)(G)(C)Jerusalem.
