[Intro]
C     F  C    F  C

[Verse]
C                       F          C
There is an everlasting song on my lips
C                   F                   C
I got up early so I don't let that song slip
Am                          D
And mighty is the voice I'm singing with
D                    F
It beats out all the dread
F                   C
Defeats the eyes of darkness

[Verse]
C                       F             C
There is an everlasting promise to be made
C                          F           C
My ink is wet, there is no paper could contain
Am                          D
The depth of feeling that I pledge to you
D             F                  F
Solemn as the sea, solemn as the sea

[Verse]
C                       F                C
There is an everlasting morning near the sun
C                            F                C
It burns a hole in my heart, makes me want to run
Am                         D
And I would run all day if they give me the choice
D           F
I hear your voice, I hear your voice
F           C
I hear your voice

[Instrumental]
C    F  C    F  C  Am    D    F       C

[Verse]
C                       F               C
There is an everlasting gladness of the heart
C                            F             C
The stranger looks at me and loves me as I am
Am                       D
One day I stand upon the river's sacred shore
D            F
And feel the sun, I feel the sun

[Verse]
C                       F            C
There is an everlasting sadness all around
C                               F               C
It's bigger than the news, from this you cannot run
Am                    D
A woman's magazine, a column in the mail
D              F
Can't help you now, can't help you now

[Verse]
C                             F               C
I love the summer birds, they sing no word of lie
C                                F                 C
The air is cruel, the frost will cast them as they fly
Am                   D
But glorious the sun returns to wake the year
             F
They show no fear, they show no fear
             C
They show no fear
