G      D
So now hold your breath 
    C
and set the stage
G     D       C
Prepare yourself for the cynic's rage
G     D       C
Is it a question still of who is man?
G     D       C
Or how they feel and what I am

[Chorus]
     D                      C
But digging deep I found a way
     D                  C
What more do I need to say?

[Verse 2]
G      D
Gone through life and death 
C
And what remains
G     D       C
If any blemish hang your head in shame
G     D       C
Like a fever that just keeps you down 
G     D       C
Would you simply let it stay around?

[Chorus]
D     C
Diggin deep I guess I'll say 
D      C
Is more pridefulness of that day
D      C
In truth I know that it is clear
D      C
I was distant, god is near

[Bridge]
Em       C
In the goodness and strife
       G
found empty wanting life
Em       C
though so long made no sound
       G        D
with tears I bowed myself down

[Verse 3]
G      D
won't you greet this man
    C
and hear his words
G     D       C
maybe an open ear would make him stir
G     D       C
could a closed heart have saved all man?

[Chorus/Outro]
D      C
diggin deep I guess I'll say 
D      C
is more pridefulness of that day
D      C
in truth I know that it is clear
D      C
I was distant, god is near
G      D     C
so now hold your breath and set the stage
G     D       C
prepare yourself for the cynic's rage
G     D       C
is it a question still of who is man?
G     D       C
or how they feel and what I am
