Intro: 2x Verse without lyrics
Verse:
D#m Bbm D#m (Bbm)
Eyes betray the soul and bear its thinking
D#m Bbm D#m (Bbm)
Beyond words, they say so many things to me.
F# C# D#m (F#)
A stranger here, reborn it seems, awaking wonders deep in me
D#m Bbm D#m (Bbm)
If nothing's ventured, nothing's gained, so I must seize the day.

Chorus 1:
F# C# D#m
And fighting time, so hard I pray that this moment lasts forever
F# C# D#m
And will the world stay standing still at least for me.
F# C# D#m
Through my eyes stare into me. I bare my heart for all to see
F# C# D#m
With my face turned to the sun there ever standing still.
Verse:
It wasn't you, it wasn't me, it wasn't anything
It was a day so long awaited and a chance to be as me.
I let the wind run through my hands before I turned to walk away.
In distant days I long to sense it all so clear.
Chorus 2:
F# C# D#m
And fighting time, so much I ask, I will this moment last forever
F# C# D#m
Though seasons change, things come to pass, remain inside of me
F# C# D#m
And fighting time, so hard I pray that this moment lasts forever
F# C# D#m
And will the world stay standing still at least for me.
Verse:
I had no faith, before that time in any vow or deed.
Days followed days, and years were meaningless.
Despite the wisdom of defeat I bore my heart for all to see.
The wonders I had seen, the wonders I had seen.
(Chorus 1)
(Chorus 2)
