Lyrics

(Bb)Half the world is sleep ing,

(Bb)half the world’s a wake.

(Gm)Half can hear their hearts beat, (Cm7)half just hear them break.

(Bb)I am but a trav ’ler,

(Bb)been most ev ’ry where.

(Gm)Ask me what you want ward to know.

What a jour ney it has (Bb)been, and the end is not in sight.

(Bb)But the stars are out to night,

and they’re bound to guide my (Bb)way.

(Bb)When they’re shin ing on my (Bb)life, I can see a bet ter day.

I’ll not let the dark ness in.

(Bb)What a jour ney it has (Bb)been.

(Bb)I have been to sor row,

(Bb)I have been to bliss.

(Gm)Where I’ll be to mor row, (Cm7)I can on ly guess.

(Bb)Through the dark est des ert,

(Bb)through the deep est snow,

(Gm)for ward, al ways for ward I go.

What a jour ney it has (Bb)been, and the end is not in sight.

(Bb)But the stars are out to night,

and they’re bound to guide my (Bb)way.

(Bb)When they’re shin ing on my (Bb)life, I can see a bet ter day.

I’ll not let the dark ness in.

(Bb)What a jour ney it has (Bb)been.

(Bb)been.

(Gm)For ward, al ways for ward,

(Cm7)on ward, al ways up,

(Gm7)catch ing ev ’ry drop of hope (Cm7)in my emp ty (Cm7)cup.

What a jour ney

(Fsus4)it (F)has (Bb)been.

(Bb)been.
