[C]And [F]remembered [G]our own [Am]land, what [F]we lived [C]for.

[chorus]
And [F]there will come a [Am]time, you’ll [C]see, with no more [C]tears.
And [F]love will not [Am]break your [C]heart, but dismiss your [C]fears.
Get [F]over your [Am]hill and [C]see what you find [C]there,
With [F]grace in your [Am]heart and [C]flowers in your [C]hair.

And [C]now I [F]cling to [G]what I [C]knew, I [C]saw [F]exactly [G]what was [C]true, but [G]oh no [F]more.
That’s [C]why I [G]hold, that’s [C]why I [G]hold with [F]all I [C]have. That’s [F]why I [G]hold.

[Closing]
[C]And [F]I won’t [G]die [Am]alone and [F]be left [C]there, [C]well I [F]guess I’ll [G]just go [Am]home,
Oh [F]God knows [C]where, [C]because [F]death is [G]just so [Am]full and [F]man so [C]small.
[C]Well I’m [F]scared of [G]what’s [Am]behind and [F]what’s [C]before.

[chorus]
And [F]there will come a [Am]time, you’ll [C]see, with no more [C]tears.
And [F]love will not [Am]break your [C]heart, but dismiss your [C]fears.
Get [F]over your [Am]hill and [C]see what you find [C]there,
With [F]grace in your [Am]heart and [C]flowers in your [C]hair.
