Am  Em  Am  Em  Am

    Am        F       C  G           Am                F   G
The moonlight it was dancing On the waves, out on the sea
    Am       F      C  G          Am             Em
The stars of heaven hovered In a shimmering galaxy
   F                   G        Am             Em
A voice from down the ages So haunting in its song
      Am       F           C   G       Am       Dm        Am
These ancient stones will tell us Our love must make us strong


Em  Am  Em

    Am        F         C     G       Am                 F    G
The breeze it wrapped around me As I stood there on the shore
    Am       F       C  G             Am            Em
And listened to this voice Like I've never heard before
    F                G           Am                Em
Our battles they may find us No choice may ours to be
    Am       F      C    G      Am         Dm     Am
But hold the banner proudly The truth will set us free


Em  Am  Em  Am  Em  Am  Em

   Am        F       C        G         Am          F     G
My mind was called across the years Of rages and of strife
   Am      F     C   G      Am               Em
Of all the human misery And all the waste of life
   F                   G             Am              Em
We wondered where our God was In the face of so much pain
  Am        F      C      G       Am        Dm   Am
I looked up to the stars above To find you once again

Em  Am  Em

   Am        F        C G          Am             F    G
We travelled the wide oceans Heard many call your name
     Am         F       C   G     Am                  Em
With sword and gun and hatred It all seemed much the same
      F                   G         Am                 Em
Some used your name for glory Some used it for their gain
         Am    F     C   G       Am         Dm      Am
Yet when liberty lay wanting No lives were lost in vain


Em  Am  Em

      Am      F        C   G         Am                F     G
Is it not our place to wonder As the sky does weep with tears
    Am       F      C   G         Am             Em
And all the living creatures Look on with mortal fear
      F                G            Am              Em
It is ours to hold the banner It is ours to hold it long
      Am       F     C  G        Am        Dm      Am
It is ours to carry forward Our love must make us strong


Em  Am  Em  Am  Em  Am  Em

    Am      F        C   G        Am           F     G
And as the warm wind carried Its song into the night
   Am        F        C  G      Am             Em
I closed my eyes and tarried Until the morning light
       F            G                 Am                 Em
As the last star it shimmered And the new sun's day gave birth
       Am       F    C  G             Am         Dm      Am
It was in this magic moment Came this prayer for mother earth


Em  Am  Em

    Am         F     C  G           Am                F   G
The moonlight it was dancing On the waves, out on the sea
     Am      F      C G          Am             Em
The stars of heaven hovered In a shimmering galaxy
   F                   G       Am             Em
A voice from down the ages So haunting in its song
    Am       F           C   G        Am        Dm      Am
The ancient stones will tell us  Our love must make us strong.
