In this age of grand illusion you walked into my life out of my dreams
      B5                  E5                F#5         B5 F#5
I don't need another change, still you forced away into my scheme of things
B5            E5       F#5        B5  F#5
 You say we're growing, growing heart and soul
       B5                  E5                F#5       B5  F#5
In this age of grand illusion you walked into my life out of my dreams

Sweet name, you're born once again for me

Oh sweet name, I call you again, you're born once again for me
    B5                   E5
Just because I believe don't mean I don't think as well
    F#5                   B5     F#5
Don't have to question everything in heaven or hell
 C#5           C#5     Bb5
Lord, I kneel and offer you my word on a wing
      F5         F5           A5         A5
And I'm trying hard to fit among your scheme of things
     D5                      E5
It's safer than a strange land, but I still care for myself
    C5               D5  D5
And I don't stand in my own light
G5     D5                     A5      G5   D5

Sweet name, you're born once again for me
      B5                E5
just as long as I can see, I'll never stop this vision flowing
F#5                       B5    F#5
I look twice and you're still flowing
      B5                       E5           F#5      B5  F#5
Just as long as I can walk, I'll walk beside you, I'm alive in you
