Lyrics

(D)Who

(A)knows what to (G)mor row brings;

in a (D)world,

(A)few hearts sur (G)vive?

All I (D)know

is the (G)way I feel;

when it’s (D)real,

I keep (D7)it a live.

The (Em7)road

is (A)long.

There are (D)moun tains (D)in our

way,

but we (C)climb climb them a step

ev ’ry (A)day.

Love, lift us (D)up where we be long,

(Bm)where the (Em)ea gles cry

on a (C)moun

tain (G)high.

Love, lift us (D)up where we be long,

(Bm)far from the (Em)world we know;

up where the (F#)clear winds (Bm)blow.

(D)Some

(A)hang on to (G)“used to be,”

live their (D)lives

(A)look ing be (G)hind.

All we (D)have

is the (G)here and now;

all our (D)life,

I out (D7)there to find.

The (Em7)road

is (A)long.

There are (D)moun tains (D)in our

way,

but we (C)climb climb them a step

ev ’ry (A)day.

Love, lift us (D)up where we be long,

(Bm)where the (Em)ea gles cry

on a (C)moun

tain (G)high.

Love, lift us (D)up where we be long,

(Bm)far from the (Em)world we know;

up where the (F#)clear winds (Bm)blow.

(G)clear winds (A)blow.

(F)Time

goes (C)by,

(Eb)no time to cry,

(Db)life’s you and (Ab)I,

a (Bb)live,

to (Fm7)day.

Love, lift us (Eb)up where we be long,

where the (Fm)ea gles cry,

on a (Db)moun tain high.

Love, lift us (Eb)up where we be long

(Cm)far from the (Fm)world we know;

where the (G)clear winds (Cm)blow.

Love, lift us (Eb)up where we be long,

where the (Fm)ea gles cry,

Love, lift us (Eb)up where we be long

(Cm)far from the (Fm)world we know;

where the (G)clear winds (Cm)blow.
