[Dbm] _ _ Where is the peace that they promised we'd find?
[Abm] Peace for our cities, children are miles, we are [A] desperate. _
_ Lost on [Dbm] the wings of ideals that [Db] keep changing their course.
[Abm] Utopian dreamers only bring us new wars, we are [A] desolate. _
At another [Dbm] dead end. _ _
[B] So why does [A] time [Dbm] always bring us to this?
[B] If heaven is [Abm] real, why is it easy to miss our [A] life?
But [Dbm] I'm content to resist without [Abm] knowing _ [Ab] my purpose.
[Dbm] There are the prophets, the priests and the kings,
[Abm] who looked beyond nature for the nature of things they [A] didn't know. _
_ [Dbm] Confirmative men, because their theories weren't fully evolved.
[Abm] They believe in dreams, if science can solve [A] them I'm sure.
And we're wiser [Dbm] than them. _ _
[B] _ We have [A] the world, we're [Dbm] what everyone wants.
[B] We follow every reason, [Abm] stop where she is.
We [A] pray in faith and our sins, [Dbm] we say common sense.
It's [Abm] disorder, but we call [Ab] it peace.
_ Are we so righteous, [Db] we can make all the [Abm] wrongs right. _
_ _ [E] Are we so enlightened, [Dbm] we can turn [E] darkness to light. _ _
_ _ We're just the cynics, [Abm] the quaint and the sloths.
[Gbm] We aim our bulimic [Dbm] at political laws.
[A] We're fighting the [Dbm] sentence, we can't see our creed [Abm] is the cause.
We [Ab] have to agree is the cause.
[Dbm] We set as judges [Abm] when we should be standing.
[Gbm] We're trying to [Dbm] make this world a better [A] place.
We [Dbm] follow every _ [Abm] reason, stop [Ab] where she is.
_ But the truth is, [Db] _
we've grown to love the exile. _ _
_ _ _ [Dbm] On this rock, we've taken [E] our stand. _ _
_ Joined [Gbm] by the beaks of men, now buried [E] in sand.
[Abm] _
_ _ _ [Dbm] _ _
Babylon will build [Abm] her again. _ _
The great city [Gbm] of man. _
_ But this [Abm] time, we'll [Ab] choose to stay.
[Dbm] But on this rock, the [Abm] castles will fall.
The white boxes are catching [Gbm] the [A] waves.
So as I'm reaching [Abm] for the veil.
[Ab] _ _ [Dbm] We've got to agree to make the [Abm] chaos small.
[E] _ Grammatize [Gbm] the textiles, justice [A] will take us [Abm] all.
But _
[Ab] _ _ _ [Gb] are we so [N] righteous, that we can make all the [Abm] wrongs right? _
_ _ [E] Are we so enlightened, we can turn [Abm] darkness to light? _
_ _ _ [E] Are we so righteous, grace doesn't have [Abm] to be?
Are _ _ _ [E] we so enlightened, [Dbm] we can build heaven [Abm] wide? _ _
_ _ _ [Dbm] _ _ _

_ [E] _ _ _ _ _
_ [Ab] _ _ [Abm] _ _ _
_ [E] Are we so righteous, grace no longer has [Abm] worth? _ _ _
Are [E] we so enlightened, we can build heaven [Abm] on earth? _ _ _
_ _ [E] Are we so righteous, we can make all the [Abm] wrongs right? _ _
_ _ [E] Are we so enlightened, we can turn darkness [Abm] to light? _
_ _ [A] Are we _ convinced that [Am] we can save [E] our son? _
