Dm                         F 
Learn this lesson well, my friend 
          C                     G 
There's a time to rejoice and lament 
Dm                        F 
Every season will find an end

verse 1 
Dm 
Standing on the rocks of the railroad tracks 
     F 
Feet calloused, eyes open, sun beats on my back 
     C                             G 
As I gaze upon the unseen winds 
             Dm 
And they are wandering, whispering 

Wisdom that's eternal 
          F 
From the heart to the mind 

To the hand to the journal 
       C 
Now the kernel of the seeds in the cleft of the rock 
        G 
And it's watered by the winds 
                                Dm 
Having power to unlock and 
                              F 
Stop the clock of chronological logic 

With its homogenized systems 
                         C 
That are dead and can't dodge it 
                                       G 
Being deaf to the voice of the Almighty One 
          Dm 
Spirit illumines the dark like a fire 
              F 
Revealing the way that was hidden but is higher 
             C 
Now we must travel on the wings 

That will never grow tired 
   G 
Of searching the mysteries of God 
       Dm 
I said Father the feathers of my wax wings 
      F 
Fall away by the rising of the sun 
              C 
And I have descended when I was undone 
            G 
And I will ascend when your Spirit comes 
         Dm 
Because what's been done and overcome 
                         F 
Cannot be stopped by the power of any human 
                   C 
Like the number of sand we will stand 

And we will fall, all 
G 
In the face of an eternal call 
              Dm 
But those who call on His name 

In the midst of the pain 
        F 
In the guilt and the shame 

And the world full of blame 
            C 
And all the bloody stains 

From the unjust gains 
G 
I learned all men suffer the same 
        Dm 
Because we're wayward sons 

And all our jokes betray 
    F 
Our foolish hearts and our selfish ways 
       C 
But if we would turn to the Father's grace 
         G 
We would never be the same 
           Dm 
This is an unseen land of a devastated soul 
                   F 
That's prepared in contemplative silence 
              C 
For the mighty working hand of an unseen Lord 
           G 
To come restore this land from its violence 
        D           Dm 
I said walk another mile 
F 
Stare across the fields of grain 
C                               G 
This is how the prophets train 

  Dm                         F 
Learn this lesson well my friend 
   C                            G 
There's a time to rejoice and lament 
   Dm                      F 
Every season will find an end 
          C                     G 
All will fade and be made new again
