[Em]Sorrow doing a new dance [G]
Through their bone, th[C]rough their skin [D]

To the soul[C]s in the fool's night [Em]

And there's heart[C]ache without end [D]

The pr[G]eacher issues warnings [A]

For the hope[C] , for the new life [Em]
[Em]Something beautiful, a new ch[G]ance
Hear its whis[C]pering
There again [D]
