 G
Now as I go upon my way
So let me go
Upon my way
Born of a light
Born of a light

The wind rushing round my open heart
An open ravine
In my spirit white
Totally alive
In my spirit light

Through an open doorway
Across a street
To another life
And catching my reflection
In a window
Switching on a light
One I didn’t know
Totally alive
Totally released

Gm  Gsus4               Gm     Gsus4
Waking, waking up from shutdown
                 Gm       Gsus4
From a thousand years of sleep
      G    F               G
Yeah you, you know what I mean
F                G
You know what I mean
F                G
You know what I mean
F                        G
Standing on the edge of you
F                G
You know what I mean
F                G
You know what I mean
F                G  F
You know what I mean

                   Gm   Gsus4
Different types of love

Different types of love
                   Gm   Gsus4
Different types of love
