AmAm AmAm FF FF GG GG EE EE  x 2  punchs guit  fin: <

Here inside this quiet room
There's direction
Outside in the sultry noon
Time reflection

A million people scurry                          w/ riff (reste)
They're looking for advice
None willing to lend charity
Just exercise their

  Am     F  F     G   G
  Shades of truth and partisan conventions
  Shades of truth between disparate lines
  Shades of truth interpret my intentions
  You don't know I'm alright
            Am         F     E
  You don't know I'm alright

Am  C F  Am G  Am E  w/ mélodie

Who authored the blueprints                      (semi-P.M.)
And made us captains?
Someone proclaimed creation
People listened

While children by the millions                   w/ riff
Are thrown into this zoo
The so-called gift of clarity
Oh, what was God up to?

  Refrain (lenient conventions)

Am  C F  Am G  Am E  x 4  w/ solo

So many walk in parallel                         (P.M.)
And pull their blinders tight
So few offer apology
And accept others rights

And nothing absolutely
Can be cherished in the end
But can't we all accept that
        E <
It will all happen again

  Refrain (just partisan conventions)            fin: G, just
