Written by John Kay
Verse:
D A D
Humanity grew weary
A
Of it's doubtful state of mind
D A
So it summoned from far and called from near
G D
All the wise men thought to be sincere
Pre-Chorus
D G D
To heal it's wounds and make it whole
G D
And lead the way back to the soul
Verse:
D A D
The charlatans they stayed behind
A
To count their bags of gold
D
And some stayed away
A
As if to say
G D
I know that my way's the only way
Pre-Chorus
D G D
Afraid to learn they may be wrong
G D
They preach their nothingness at home
A
But the wise men came together
D
With the hope to free man kind
A E D A
Of the rubbish that had gathered in god's name
A
To embrace and trust each other
D
In the search for the supreme
A E D A
And they found that all their teachings were the sa-ame 
Verse:
D A D
And when at last the word went round
A
That all were one and all
D A
Many returned to seek the light
G D
Nobody claimed that he was right
Pre-Chorus
D G D
It's sad to know it's just a song
G D
To dream and hope still can't be wrong
A
But the wise men came together
D
With the hope to free man kind
A E D A
Of the rubbish that had gathered in god's name
A
To embrace and trust each other
D
In the search for the supreme
A E D A
And they found that all their teachings were the sa-ame
Full
key step up
Half
key step up
Half
key step down
Full
key step down
