Lyrics
Am C
As darkness falls upon me
D Em
The faintest of lights may shine
C G
Only when all is quiet
C B7
Will wisdom have its time.
Em
Like the sun, I’m blinded by pride
D
Like the moon, I have no light of my own
C D
Like the stars, I’m one of many
C Em
Like the earth, I’m alone
G Am
Imposing perfect ideals,
D Em
Breeds oppression
G Am
Idealizing the present,
D Em
Sustains stagnation
D Em
There is no forest without the trees
D Em
There is no wind without a breeze
D C G
There is no us without you and me
Am D B7
Alone we’re trapped but as one we break free
Em
Like the sun, I’m blinded by pride
D
Like the moon, I have no light of my own
C D
Like the stars, I’m one of many
C Em
Like the earth, I’m alone
G Am
Ideals are what we strive for
D Em
But forcing them now is a crime.
G Am
Still, nothing gets better
D Em
If we think ourselves sublime
D Em
We’ll never reach perfection
D Em
We can’t even perceive
D C G
Still, all things can be made better
Am D B7
‘til we reach eternity
Em
Like the sun, I’m blinded by pride
D
Like the moon, I have no light of my own
C D
Like the stars, I’m one of many
C Em
Like the earth, I’m alone
C D
Like the stars, I’m one of many
C Em
Like the earth, I’m alone
