to [D] breathe [A] in my first breath.
[E] [A] Shoulders sure [Bm] are heavy [D] with these [A] wings about to stretch.
[E] Waking up, [Bm] clinging to the [D] rafters, sensing summer [A] winds are coming in.
[E] When just above me, [Bm] a hundred of my [D] brothers are ready for [A] this journey to [E] [B]
begin.
[E] [Bm]
And [D] in my body there is buried [A] some strange memory of a [E] life before [Bm] tomorrow.
And it [D] will lead me to the origin of [A] me,
[E] prehistory.

[D] [A] How [E] long was I asleep?
All [A] these colors [Bm] opening like bright kaleidoscopes.

I'm taking [E] a dive into [Am] the crystal river.
[D] I'm gonna find a friend and give her the sweetest kiss [A] creation ever knew.
Oh, and when [E] she blushes, all the secrets in her [Bm] eyes [Em] become [B] the songs [F#m] of old and wiser [Am] ones [A] who flew this path before.
[E] If you're here too, then why [F#m] not sing it?
Pick up where they [Bm] left [D] off.
The rest [A] of them will marvel at the sky.
