C
So come sit down
         Am	      G
Will you talk with me now?
C
Let me see through your eyes
	       Am     G
Where there is so much life
       Am          G
We are biding our time
          Am        G
For these myths to unwind
       Am         G           C
These changes we will confront
C
So please beware
           Am              G
With every place that you head
C
Look to your soul
           Am               G
For these things that you know
        Am               G
For the trees that we see
       Am      G
Cannot forever breathe
Am                     G           C
With the changes they will confront

Verse2:

For this sacred land
It has seen many hands
It has wealth and gold
Yet it is fragile and old
And all the greedy souls
Just don't care to know
Of the changes it will confront

So speak out loud
Of the things you are proud
And if you love this coast
Then keep it clean as it hopes
'Cause the way that it shines
May just dwindle with time
With the changes it will confront

Verse3:

So hold nice and close
Once you get to your soul
So that when it is cold
You won't feel so alone
'Cause the roads that you take
May just crack and break
With the changes you will confront

With each gift that you share
You may heal and repair
With each choice you make
You may help someone's day
Well I know you are strong
May your journey be long
And now I wish you the best of luck
Well I know you are strong
May your journey be long
And now I wish you the best of luck.

Chorus
