 C 
If we can cross at the place that divides us.
Cross the river, the river so wide,
                                                                   G 
Deny the demons that wait by our side,
               F                           C 
We can find, find the light
 C 
Our nights are filled with the light of the same moon,
We share the comfort of the same stars.
                                                                                   G 
That don't matter, can't you see what we are,
                 F                           C 
What we are, what we become?
 F/C                                     G/C 
Keep our sights on the way ahead,
 F/D                                             G/D 
Don't look back, it won't help us now.
 C/E                           Em                   F 
    The storm we left so far behind
                           C/G                                     G/A 
Seems a dark memory that starts to fade,
                         F/D                                                   C 
But till we see the light we will not be safe.
 C 
We all sink or swim in the same ocean,
Break our skin and we will bleed
                                                                                       G 
We face the same danger, we share the same needs,
                             F                         C 
We're all the same, you and me.
 F/C                                     G/C 
Keep our sights on the way ahead,
 F/D                                             G/D 
Don't look back, that won't help us now.
 C/E                           Em                         F 
    Upstream, the river gets too wide
                       C/G                                         G/A 
So we must build that bridge right here,
                         F/D                                                           C 
Cause if we wait we will not reach the other side.

 F                                                 G 
See under that clear blue sky
                           Am                                                   G 
The winds of change are blowing hard and long,
                         F                                                     G                             C 
And they'll not stop to rest 'cause the change is gonna come

 C 
Our nights are filled with the light of the same moon,
We share the comfort of the same stars.
                                                                                   G 
That don't matter, can't you see what we are,
                 F                           C 
What we are, what we become?
 F/C                                     G/C 
Keep our sights on the way ahead,
 F/D                                             G/D 
Don't look back, it won't help us now.
 C/E                                     Em                         F 
    Cause upstream the river gets too wide
                                 C/G                                                                 G/A 
And if we don't build that bridge right here, right now,
                               F/D                                               C 
You know we'll never ever reach the other side.
