   G        F#     F
A legacy so far removed
E
One day will be improved
Eternal rights we left behind
We were the better kind

Two the same, set free too

Chorus:
E                     G F
I always looked to you
E                     G F
I always looked to you
E
I always looked to you

We fought for good, stood side by side
Our friendship never died
On stranger waves, the lows and highs
Our vision touched the sky
Immortalists with points to prove

Chorus:
I put my trust in you
I put my trust in you
I put my trust in you

A house somewhere on foreign soil
Where aging lovers call
Is this your goal, your final needs
Where dogs and vultures eat
Committed still I turn to go

Chorus:
I put my trust in you
I put my trust in you
I put my trust in you
I put my trust in you
In you. In you. In you
Put my trust in you, in you
