Am                           F
Give me the eyes that I may see
                                         Am
The good in my people and the trouble in me
                              C  Em F
Give me the hands that I may lift
                                          G
The weight of another who's starting to drift

Chorus:
             Dm       C          F
And if we're running towards a place
             F   Am G
Where we'll walk as one
         Dm       C        F
Will the hardness of this life
     C  G
Be overcome?
     Em               F
If I lay with you in love
          G
Will you meet me there?
               Em                 F
And shake the lightning from the locks
        C        G
Of your unbound hair
               Dm  C F
Can two become one?

                           C  G F
Give me a song that I may sing
                                       Am
That cuts like a canyon and rides on a wing
                              C  Em  F
And give a heart that I may stand
For what I believe in

Chorus

                 C
Can you see the world
               F
In a grain of sand?
              C
Can you find heaven in a wildflower
                             F
Hold it in the palm of your hand?
              Am
The moment we met
               F
Burst like a star
          C
Onto the canvas of the skyline, purple and gold
F
We're in this together,
                     Dm C F
I ain't never letting go

Chorus
