D 
the night is restless 
but no dream's in sight 
A7 
and the sounds have no beginnings or ends 
and that glow is not a light 

D 
the walls turn into waterfalls 
with water made of thoughts that call, 
A7 
"it's not O.K. to tip the glass 
don't smile too long or shed a tear 
D 
you're not the only one that's you 
things have changed, now we are here." 

(solo) E E G G E E G G F5 A  

D 
we are not the king and queen 
what we are lies in between 
A7 
the blankets that you've never seen 
but over you are spread 
D 
"we are here," the voices sing 
"we are here," the echo thunders 
A7 
"here we are," the doorbell rings 
"we are here and here in numbers" 

(solo) E E G G E E G G F5 A 

D 
the others came in from the hall 
and thoughts with voices start to call, 
A7 
"it's not O.K. to tip the glass 
or smile too long or shed a tear 
D 
you're not alone the way you thought 
things have changed, now we are here"
