You may have seen a lid of darkness Clamping down upon a sunset

You may have seen the first star flickering In the park one summer evening 
        Bm                                   D 
No less faintly than the dream that you were wishing on 
             A                                  G 
You may have seen the seagulls circling On the haze above the factory 
          F#m                                   A 
With more purpose than the course your life was on 
           Em                               F#m 
But if you haven t seen the places you have come from 
         G                             A

VERSE:
 
             A                               G 
You may have seen a blazing bonfire Burning bright with fickle beauty 
         Bm                              D 
That was turned to lifeless ashes in the morning 
             A                                G 
You may have seen a single snowdrop Where it shivered in the graveyard 
        F#m                                A 
No less fragile than the soul to which you cling 
           Em                               F#m 
But if you haven t seen the people you have come from 
         G                               A 
Then you haven t seen the person youve become

In the bigger picture theres no answer to your prayers 
                 F#m               G             Gm 
In the bigger picture but theres a billion other fires 
              D  G                 Bm 
In the bigger picture you ll learn how to build yours higher 
            D               G                    Em G D
