F#m B E E7
As daybreak breaks the mist upon the earth
F#m B C#m A B
it came to pass that beauty settled there forever more
F#m B E E7
and as the steam clings close to things to come
F#m B C#m A B
it came to pass that solid rock did part for humble life

F F7 A#
once upon a time there was confusion
C F
disappointment, fear and disillusion
F F7 A#
now there's hope reborn with every morning
C F7
see the future clearly at its dawning
F A# C
forever drifting slowly towards a hazy emptiness
F C7
whilst water slips into the sea

the father's sad to see it's free
Gm C F F7
As shadows creep towards their master night
Gm C Dm A# C
it came to pass that trees defied the wind who shook their leaves
Gm C F F7
and as the peace descended all around
Gm C Dm A# C
it came to pass that nature's creatures came to face the world
