Introduction: G Bm D Em C G Bm D C
G D Em C G Bm D C
Sometimes I lie and gaze out over the fields and wonder how and why
G D Em C G D C
Seed-grains grow and flower, fade and return to seed reborn again each time they die
Em D C
And so I seek to understand
Em D C
The purpose and the plan
Em D C
For it is coming clear to me
G D C
There is much we do not see
G Bm D Em C
Maybe the crows know, how the grass grows
G Bm D C
Who gave the flowers to the bees
G Bm D Em C
Where the winds blow, who paints frost upon the windows
G Bm D C Em D G
Do you ever gaze up at the trees and wonder what we were meant to be
G D Em C G Bm D C
Sometimes I lie and gaze out into the night and ponder who we are
G D Em C G D C
Seed-grains planted in this mortal coil, we have travelled far
Em D C
And so I seek to understand
Em D C
The purpose and the plan
Em D C
Why do we wander o&rsquo er this earth
G D C
What Is the reason for our birth
G Bm D Em C
Maybe the stars know the reason we roam
G Bm D C
and the restless urge that drives us on
G Bm D Em C
Forever see - king in a world that stopped believing
G Bm D C Em D G
Do ever gaze up at the stars and wonder who we are
G D Em C G Bm D C
Sometimes I lie and leave this world behind, and wander through the land of dreams
G D Em C G Bm D C
Old friends come to greet me, names I know so well, with tidings tongues can never tell
Em D C
And so I seek to understand
Em D C
The purpose and the plan
Em D C
I hear them calling on the wind
Em D C
We walk with you till journey&rsquo s end
G Bm D Em C
Maybe our hearts know It&rsquo s love that brings hope
G Bm D C
Amidst the darkness and the pain
G Bm D Em C
That humankind - ness, in a world that&rsquo s lost in blindness
G Bm D C Em D G
Do ever gaze out o&rsquo er the lands, and ponder at the fates of man
Em D C
And so I seek to understand
Em D C
The purpose and the plan
Em D C
For answers blowing on the wind,
G D C
And battles we have yet to win
G Bm D Em C
Maybe our souls hold, the lessons we&rsquo ve learned
G Bm D C
And the questions we have yet to ask
G Bm D Em C
How long&rsquo s the jour - ney, how many lives before we break free
G Bm D C Em D G
Do you ever fall upon your knees, and pray for eyes that we might see
Em D C
And so I seek to understand
Em D Bm C G
The purpose and the plan
