So come sit down 
         A#      G#
Will you talk with me now? 
 
Let me see through your eyes 
       A#      G# 
Where there is so much life 
       A#         G# 
We are biding our time 
          A#       G# 
For these myths to unwind 
       A#        G#           C# 
These changes we will confront 
 
G#             
So please beware 
           A#             G# 
With every place that you head 
            
Look to your soul 
           A#              G# 
For these things that you know 
        A#              G# 
For the trees that we see 
       A#      G# 
Cannot forever breathe

          F#            C#

          F#            C#       G# 
They just won?t understand these things 
C# 
Thank you for your message 
      F#             C#
But I don't understand 
           F#            C#       G#

            G# 
This sacred land it has 
A#        G# 
Seen many hands, it has 
 
Wealth and gold yet it is 
A#          G# 
Fragile and old and all the 
A#     G#               A#      G#       
Greedy souls just don't care to know 
A#                G#          C# 
Of the changes it will confront 
 
G# 
So speak out loud of the 
A#             G# 
Things you are proud 
 
And if you love this coast 
        A#          G# 
Keep it clean as it evolves 
        A#          G# 
Cos the way that it shines 
         A#           G#
May just dwindle with time

So hold nice and close 
              A#          G#
The ones that get to your soul 
 
So that when it is cold

You won?t feel so alone 
        A#             G# 
Cos the roads that you take 
         A#        G# 
May just crack and break

        A#       G# 
You may heal and repair 
 
With each choice that you make
