Is there [[Am]]no sign of light as we [[Em]]stand in the darkness?

[[Am]]Watching the sun [[G]]a[[Am]]rise [A9,Am7,[A9]]

Is there [[Am]]no sign of life as we [[Em]]gaze at the waters?

[[Am]]Into the stran[[G]]gers [[Am]]eyes [A9,Am7,[A9]]

And [[F]]who are [[G]]we to [[C]]criti[[F]]cize or

[[Dm7]]scorn the [[G7]]things that they [[Am]]do? [A9,Am7,[A9]]

For [[F]]we shall [[G]]seek and [[C]]we shall [[F]]find

If we [[Am]]call for the proof and we [[Em]]question the answers

[[Am]]Only the doubt [[G]]will [[Am]]grow [A9,Am7,[A9]]

Are we [[Am]]blind to the truth or a [[Em]]sign to believe in?

[[Am]]Only the wise [[G]]will [[Am]]know [A9,Am7,[A9]]

And [[F]]word by [[G]]word they [[C]]handed [[F]]down

the [[Dm7]]light that [[G7]]shines to[[Am]]day [A9,Am7,[A9]]

And [[F]]those who [[G]]came at [[C]]first to [[F]]scoff,

[[Dm]] Remained be[[Em]]hind to [[Am]]pray

Yes [[F]]those who [[G]]came at [[C]]first to [[F]]scoff,

[[Dm]] remained be[[Em7]]hind to [[Am]]pray

When you [[Am]]can't hear the rhyme and you [[Em]]can't see the reason

[[Am]]Why should the hope [[G]]re[[A]]main? [A9,Am7,[A9]]

For a [[Am]]man will be tired and his [[Em]]soul will grow weary

[[Am]]Living his life [[G]]in [[Am]]vain [A9,Am7,[A9]]

And [[F]]who are [[G]]we to [[C]]justi[[F]]fy

the [[Dm7]]right in [[G7]]all we [[Am]]do? [A9,Am7,[A9]]

Un[[F]]til we [[G]]seek un[[C]]til we [[F]]find

[[Dm]]Through all the [[G]]doubt

[[F]]somehow they [[G]]knew

And [[F]]stone by [[G]]stone they [[C]]built it [[F]]high

[[Dm7]]Until the [[G7]]sun broke [[Am]]through
