             G    C
We saw birth and death
       G  C   F
Can't we be still
                G  C
What makes you kind
       G    C           F           G
From where comes your sparkling mind

       G         C
Was it under the earth?
     G  C      F
Tied up in a knot
           Em           G      F
Which I forgot you were ever there

   Em  G     F
Do not be afraid
   Em  G     F
Do not be afraid

Chorus:
        Em     C
What's that I see?
    G             F
I think it's the wild
                 Em     C
Puts the fear of God in me

It was ever thus
Up from the dust
Inconceivable love

Chorus
