(D)Who

(Gm)in a (D)world

few hearts sur (G)vive?

(Gm)All I (D)know

is the (G)way I feel;

(Gm)when it’s (D)real,

I (D)keep it a (G)live.

The (Em)road

is (A)long.

There are (D)moun tains (D)in

our (G)way,

but we (C)climb

a step ev ’ry (A)day.

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

(Bm)where (Em)the ea gles (D)cry

on a (C)moun

tain (G)high.

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

far (Bm7)from the (Em)world we know, up where the (F#7)clear winds (Bm)blow.

(D)Some

hang on to (G)“used to be”,

(Gm)live their (D)lives

look ing be (G)hind.

(Gm)All we (D)have

is the (G)here and now;

(Gm)all our (D)life

The (Em)road

is (A)long.

There are (D)moun tains (D)in

our (G)way,

but we (C)climb

a step ev ’ry (A)day.

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