Intro: Bb 

   C                      Gm 
A heritage of vision was given to us all 
     C                             Gm                  F 
To smell the rose's fragrance, to hear the songbird's call 
    F                 C                   F             C 
To watch the distant moonlight fill, the coming of the tides 
   F                C                F                Am G F Bb7 
To understand that life is more than always choosing sides 

     C                                  Gm 
And some have seen what can be seen of sailing ships and kings 
     C                               Gm             F 
And some are given feet of clay and some are given wings 
 F                  C                F                   C 
Some must struggle just to breathe, some have a golden spoon 
     F               C                    F                Am G F Bb7 
And some will never leave the nest while some walk on the moon 

     C                                     Gm 
And don't you know the life that lives within the silent hills 
    C                              Gm           F 
Is just as rich and beautiful and just as unfulfilled 
    F               C               F               C 
As man with all his intellect, his reason and his choice 
      F               C              F           Am G F Bb7 
Oh, who's to say the nightingale has any less a voice 

     C                                   Gm 
The silver dolphins twist and dance and sing to one another 
     C                               Gm                   F 
The cosmic ocean knows no bounds for all that lives are brothers 
      F                 C               F               C 
The whippoorwill, the grizzly bear, the elephant, the whale 
     F              C              F              Am G F Bb7 
All children of the universe, all weavers of the tale 

    C                           Gm 
So palomino lie back down and dream yourself to sleep 
     C                                     Gm 
The hawk flies with the morning dove, the lion with the sheep 
    F           C                F         C 
As far away as you may go we'll never be apart 
     F                    C                 F              Am G F 
It's in your dreams that you will know the seasons of the heart
