The Mystery of Your Gift

A (Eb5)single note passes;

out of the ashes, a flickering ember begins.

It's the courage to turn when the pages have burned and your story now seems at an (Bbsus)end.

(Cm)Seasons stay and (Gm)seasons go,

(Ab)sending your (Eb)mem'ries adrift.

It's the beautiful longing;

(Eb5)embrace the unknown.

That's the myst'ry of your (Eb)gift.

(Fm)And the (Cm)echoes of your (Gm)(Cm)melody will (Ab)always (Eb)live in these (Bb)walls,

and the (Cm)lessons that you (Gm)gave to (Cm)me.

(Ab)Before you can (Eb)fly, you must (Bbsus)fall.

It's the (Eb5)beautiful longing;

embrace the unknown.

That's the myst'ry of your (Ah,

(Ebmaj7)gift.

(Fm)ah.)

(Bb)There's a (Eb)voice in the shadow

(Bb)calling for more.

There's a (Ab)rhythm that (Eb)beats from (Bbsus)(Bbsus2)within.

(Eb)Lending your voice to the (Bb)warmth of your song,

there's a (Ab)strength in the (Eb)choir of (Bbsus)one.

(Cm)Pure is the voice that (Gm)sees the place where the (Ab)weight of your (Eb)past may now

lift. It's the fly, you must fall.

(Eb)So sing (Ab)higher and higher;

a (Eb)thousand new voices ring (Bb)through.

If you sing (Ab)out of the fire,

the (Eb)courage you need comes from you.

(Eb)(There's a voice in the shadow

(C)calling for (F)more.

There's a (Bb)rhythm that (F)beats from (Csus)within.

Ah, (F)lending your voice to the (Dsus)warmth of the (Dm)song,

there's a (Bb)strength in the (F)choir of (Csus)one.)

(C)But the (Dm)echoes of your (Am)(Dm)melody will (Bb)always (F)live in these (Csus)walls,

(C)and the (Dm)lessons that you (Am)gave to me.

(Bb)Before you can (F)fly, you must (C)fall.

(C)It's the (F)beautiful (Gm)longing;

(F)embrace the (Gm)unknown.

That's the (Bb)myst'ry of your (F)gift.

(Gm)It's the (F5)beautiful longing;

embrace the unknown.
