Am
Take my hand
    F            Dm
And walk in the light
Am                     F         Dm
Understand, there's a fire to ignite

Chorus:
Am                     F       Dm
You know we have a responsibility
It's true we've been chosen
And now we have the possibility
Of melting what's frozen

Walk with me with the rapture inside
Can't you see it's not our place to decide

Chorus:
You know we have to make a case for love
It's more of a duty
It's clear we have a mission from above
A mission of beauty

A#                  Am
You know I wouldn't lie to you
 A#             Dm        F
What would I achieve by that
A#                      Am    Dm
It's more than I would try to do
A#             A
These are the facts

Take your place here
With love in your heart
Just embrace what you've known from the start

Chorus:
We are fulfilling our only destiny
The angels have spoken
And all the gods in the universe agree
The spell can't be broken
