He came looking for the answers to some questions on his mind
                                                               A
seeking truth and understanding in the hope that he would find

a   way to better serve his brothers and his sisters in the sun

Come and listen to the story of a journey once begun
                                                         A
of a people and their plenty and their season in the sun

and how they gave themselves as symbols and things that they could hold
                                                     A
living lives in desperation in the fear of letting go

It amazes me and I know the wind
                                     D
will surely someday blow it all away
                   G

                                                       A

For there are things that we must move through some things to cast aside
                                                      A
but our father watches over us our mother will provide
