Lyrics

(CN.C.)Ris ing a bove

(Bb)Blind ed by trust,

(CN.C.)Some where I’ve found

strength in my soul;

still you re fuse to see.

Are you (Bbmaj7)sure

Ev ’ry (Bb)life line leads its (Bb)own way to the heav ens;

but I have (Bb)seen you run in (Bb)cir cles, un for giv en.

Is there (A)an y thing in this world that can make you stop?

Oh, you’re a ma chine.

A world of your own,

I’m (Bb)fill ing my life

with all it can hold,

And now the sky is o pen (Csus)wide.

Turn the (Bb)light (F)on, and you will (Bb)see (F)things so much clear er.

Whoa.

But there’s no (Bb)heart, (F)oh, there’s no

You’re a ma (CN.C.)chine.
