[D]When you it seems [G]you're all but drowning
[D]May the water [Bm]quench your thirsting
[D]When the sun [G]is nearly blinding
[E]May you, by [C#m]it, see everything
[A]♪
[D]When your worry [Bm]leaves you weary
[G]May your sleep [C]be sound and healing
[D]When the road [D]is long and winding
[G]And the wrong [D]story is selling
[Bm]May you find [D]your own worth writing
[G]When the fairies [E]tell of weeping
[C#m]May you show [A]them all the glory
[D]When there's too [Bm]many to bury
[G]May you know [C]death lost already
[D]♪
[D]When the [G]burden's beyond bearing
[D]May you know [Bm]it's not yours only
[D]When your body's [G]worn and wasting
[E]And time [C#m]is only taking
[A]May you find [D]it all worth giving
[Bm]In the silent [G]war that's raging
[C]Keep quietly rebelling
[D]When there's always [D]more to bury
[G]May you know [D]death lost already
[Bm]In saecula saeculorum

[C#m]May the water [A]quench your thirsting
[D]When the sun [Bm]is nearly blinding
[G]May you, by [C]it, see everything
[D]As it was [D]meant to be
[G]A wonder, extraordinary
[D]Made to wander [Bm]free and fearlessly
[D]Unto all eternity
[G]♪
[E]Because death [C#m]has lost already
