I have never taken life
Yet I have often paid the price
Am DmAnd you, you are a victim of this age
AmAnd the guilt that hangs around your neck
Has got me locked up in a cage
F G AmYou've got to learn to live until no end
F G EBut first you must learn to swim all over again
Am Dm
Because pain lies on the riverside
And pain will never say goodbye
Am DmPain lies on the riverside
E F GSo put your head in the water
Put your soul in the water
AmAnd join me for a swim tonight
I have forever always tried
To stay clean and constantly baptized
I am aware now that the river's banks are dry
And to wait for a flood
Is to wait for life
I've got to learn...
Operation Spirit (The Tyranny of Tradition)
Heard a lot of talk about the ocean
Em (D)Heard a lot of talk about the sea
Em (D)Heard a lot of talk about a lot of things
Never meant that much to me
Em (D)Heard a lot of talk about my spirit
Em (D)Heard a lot of talk about my soul
But I decided that anxiety and pain
(D) EmWere better friends
DSo I let it go
Did you let it go? (3x)
ALet's get it back
C D EmLet's get it back together
Heard a lot of talk about this Jesus
A man of love, a man of strength
But what a man was two thousand years ago
Means nothing at all to me today
He could have been telling me about my higher self
But he only lives inside my prayer
So what he was may have been beautiful
But the pain is right now and right here
Let it go...
Beauty Of Gray
Bm F#
If I told you he was your brother
Bm F#We could reminisce then you would go about your day
Bm F#If I said you ought to give him some of your water
You'd shake your canteen and walk away
G D AThis perception that divides you from him
G D A GIs a lie -- for some reason you never asked why
This is not a black and white world
D A CYou can't afford to believe in your side
Bm EmThis is not a black and white world
To be alive I say that the colors must swirl
Bm EmAnd I believe that maybe today
D A Bm F#We will all get to appreciate the beauty of gray
If I told you that she was your mother
We could analyze the situation and be gone
If I said you ought to give her some of your water
Your eyes would light up like the dawn
This perception that divides you from her...
We will all get to appreciate...
Bm Em
The beauty of gray

No daylight

Brothers Unaware
Dm C
Dm C
So many people
I know only a few
Dm CYes I may say that I love this man and that man
Dm CBut what keeps me from loving you?
Date of birth, geography
Dm CColor of skin, ideology
Dm CYou got ten fingers, two legs, one nose
Like me, just like me
Bb AAnd it's as simple as that you see
Dm CAnd if I don't know who to love I love them all
And if I don't know who to trust I trust them all
Dm C A Bb CAnd if I don't know who to kill I kill myself instead
From the mouth of a baby
Will come the world saving words
That will save us all
And from the lungs of a child
Will come the everlasting breath of God
Increasing peace and honesty
And not carrying on despite of me
Don't you know, this ain't about no race, no creed
No race, no creed
And it's as simple as that you see
And if I don't know who to love I love them all
And if I don't know who to trust I trust them all
And if I don't know who to kill no suicide
I'm already dead

Intro (4x) Under 1st verse (4x)
You say "hold on to the reigns"
I say "let them go tonight"
My brain waves
Confused between what is and ain't
She cries "groundless and free"

Mirror Song
E|-0----0--| (repeat throughout verses)
I know that I should think about giving
And think about helping out and think about
Think about living
But I can't seem to rescue myself (2x)
C#m
What about my bank account?
And my holy desert shield
G# AThat keeps me dry under the arms
B EFlags and mental jewelry's all I know
And they keep me happy and warm inside
So I said unto this man who are you
And where do you come from
And he proceeded to tell me many things
But I said nothing at all
For the flower in the corner by the room
In the window and the sun
Said it all
But what about...
A (arpeggiate chords here)
At least they said they would
G#Said they could
Mama said they would
G# ADo me good
I know that I should...
Waterboy

What do you say to the child

And what do you say to the man
C#m AWho blames the world on TV
C#m A C#m AThey don't even know how to sing my song
But they won't even try it with me
F#m G#Who is standing over playing like the teacher
F#mHarnessing the learned
Who try but can't leave her
F#mI want to beg the liars
G#To lay down their sirens
That play like the angels
G#To my deep desire
C#mFree my son
Let him walk right through the rain
C#mFree my son
F#mMake him waterboy
Free my son
F#mThere he stands down on the shore
A BFree my son
What do you say to the man
Who treats her like a mother
And what do you say to the man
Who treats him like a father
Come and see my heart
Come inside and learn
Come and see my soul, it's like yours
I say it's just like yours
Who is making over
Idolizing princes
Banishing the dreamers
With barbed wire fences
And telling all the children who run to her feet
That they have no vision and love's all diseased
Free my son

He said, he said, he said
There was nothing to fear boy
He said, he said, he said
Worthless are your tears boy
Just realize your senses
And realize your earth
Just realize your essence first
I'll never be the same again
Am G AmI want to walk in the sun
Am G AmI am alive and well again
No more bitterweet
GNo more good pain
No more
So many of us stand in the middle
Am CLooking back to the worst
D CLooking forward to the fall
Making weapons of peace for the defense
Am C D COf the bloodstains on our peaceful sidewalks
You say the buildings are too tall
They're going to fry your brother
Well I say you'd better walk away
And find your mother
F
No more bitterweet
No more good pain
If I can't sing this song
And tell you all about it
Then I'll just pack it up right now and walk away
Don't even doubt it
So when our sherry glass is full
And the day is way too young
You'd better sip today before it's gone
No more bitterweet
No more good pain
Am
No more good pain
GNo more good pain
No more good pain good pain
Mother Earth Is a Vicious Crowd
F#m E/F#m
Pollution, Cain, and misery
EOceans of golden mystery
Armies boisterous and armies loud
EPortraits of a vicious crowd
D A E
Talk to me, talk to me now
D A EHey man you're all that I have
Me, Myself, Myself and I
Were born to work and born to die
I have chosen my anthems of these I am proud
Portraits of a divided crowd
Talk to me now...
Could you leave it behind...
Leave it all behind...
10,000 Years (Peace is Now)
A C
The world is burning down
D A C DCan't you smell the smoke in the air
War, disease and famine this demon she is everywhere
Poets and preachers and politicians
They've all had their say
And we got 10,000 years devoted
To nothing but tomorrow and yesterday
F
If all of the ignorance in the world
APassed a second ago
What would you say?
C D AWho would you obey?
CI am here to say that
Peace is now
Mr. President I hereby pardon you for your crimes
For they are just as much mine
Selfishness and seperation have led me to believe
That the world is not my problem
The world is not my problem
I am the world
And you are the world
