G Em7 G/F# C
Some things I've done make my conscience burn,
My very spine shutter and squirm.
G Em7 G/F# C
I only hope that I've learned from my sins.
G Em7 G/F#
I heard a voice when I was 13,
C
Got baptised and washed up clean.
G Em7 G/F#
But the world has a way, if you know what I mean,
C
Of scuffin' you up again.
D D/F# G
- I can't explain a blessed thing,
C
Not a fallen star or a feathered wing,
D D/F# G C
Or how a man in chains can have the strength to sing.
D D/F# G

C
There's always more than what appears to be
D D/F# G C
And when the light's just right I swear I
see...poetry. -
G Em7 G/F#
Well, somebody made everything
C
From my soul inside out to Saturn's rings,
G Em7 G/F# C
How my baby smiles, how Ray Charles sings...
Of course we were created.
G Em7 G/F#
Clouds make rain, the ocean makes sand,
C
The earth breathes fire, and lava makes land.
G Em7 G/F#
Well, that took a mighty hand
C
And a wild imagination.

Dreams I dreamed came back ten-fold
C
From the friends that I have to the woman I hold.
G Em7 G/F#
I look down on a street of gold,
C
After all the mud along the way.
G Em7 G/F# C
Sometimes a big ol' mystery can lead right in on me.
G Em7 G/F#
Says that I am home and I am free...
C
And I'll take that anyday.
- REPEAT CHORUS -
D D/F# G
Just one thing is clear to me,
C
There's always more than what appears to be
D D/F# G C
And when the light's just right I swear I
see...poetry.
