[Eb]
[Ebm] A thousand years, a thousand more, [Abm] a thousand times, a million [F] bloods to be too.
[Ab]
A billion, [Eb] a thousand lives, a thousand [Abm] times, an endless curve and stairway climbs [Ab] to a
tower of snow.
It takes [Ebm] another thousand years, a thousand more [Abm] as the towers crash, remember, let's [Fm] pause it.
A [Gb] million tears, a million [B] breaths, a million needs, but only one [Bb] truth to believe.
[Ebm]
[Ab] [Eb]
A [Ebm] million wars, a million fears, [Abm] a million suns, a million years of existence.
[Ab]
I can [Ebm] speak a million lies, a million [Abm] songs, a million nights, a million minds [Ab] in this
balance of time.
If there [Ebm] was a single truth, a single [Abm] light, a single thought, a singular [Ab] touch of grace,
[Fm]
following [Bbm] the single mind, the single flame, the single [B] wanted memory [Bb] of your face.
[Ebm]
[Eb] I still [Abm]
wait, [Ab] I
[Eb] still [Abm]
watch.
[Fm]
[Gb] A thousand times, a mystery [B] so far themselves like galaxies in my [Bb] head.
[Ebm] [Db]
[Abm] [B]
[Ebm] I may be numberless, I may [Abm] be innocent.
[Ab] I may know many things, I may be ignorant.
[Ebm] Or I could ride with the kings, who could [Abm] rule many lands.
[Ab] Or when this world applies, then let it slip my hands.
[Ebm] I could be cannon [Abm]-fueled, destroyed a thousand times.
Who [Fm] bothers marching shy to judging others' [Gb] crimes?
Or as pyramids grow, [B] I'll be in common feet.
[Bbm] I bet this single faith I have [Eb] but one belief.
I still [Abm] wait, [F] I [Eb] still [Abm]
watch.
[Fm]
[Gb] A thousand times, a mystery [B] so far themselves like galaxies [Ebm] in my [Bb] head.
[Ebm]
All the mysteries [Abm] unwind themselves, [Bbm] eternity still unseen.
Teaching,
[Ebm] learning.
