Teases [B] and traces of gold
[D] Traces of the years gone
A
[C] [G]
[D] gift that
[G] was a birth
Here [D] with us, the seeds of action
And [G] it takes them to the top
[D] We'll be there
We can be [G] there
On the mission, in the training day
We don't believe in fate
[D] Cause we all have a soul
We all live in the soul

And the brave

[D] Locked in this here crib of cribs
And out there to crash
[C] They were carrying you from space

Like fallen trees
