             Em               C                      G  D 
There are a million mountains that I'd like to climb 
         Em                   C              G  D 
To get a glimpse of the heart of your design 
  Em             C                              G 
So here I stand, here I stand on what You build 
                D                         Em         C                D 
You are surrounding me and the walls will never, ever, ever come down 


             C              G 
You build me up like a city of gold 
            D                 Em 
The battles rage but I'm standing tall 
              C               G 
You formed my heart like an empire 
              D              Em 
The wind and rain can't stop this fire 
   C                   G 
If only I could see it from Your perspective 
    D                    Em 
The beauty and the grace of Your architecture 
C    G 
Ohhh-ohh 
Em   D 
Ohhh-ohh 

            Em            C                   G  D  
There are a million trees blowing in the wind 
Em           C                 G  D 
Witnesses of lives already led 
  Em             C                              G 
So here I stand, here I stand on what You build 
                    D                     Em          C               D 
You are surrounding me and the walls will never, ever, ever come down 

(Chorus) 

             C   D 
Of Your architecture 
          C   D 
Your architecture 
          C   D

          C   D

Em            C                              G 
Here I stand, here I stand on what You build 
                D 
You are surrounding me (x2) 

Em            C                              G 
Here I stand, here I stand on what You build 
                D                         Em          C               G  D 
You are surrounding me and the walls will never, ever, ever come down 
                   Em          C               D 
No, the walls will never, ever, ever come down 

(Chorus)
