G#m        A                 F#m               E   D     A
    Like a star come down to walk the earth in radiant array
E            B           C#m      A                   C#m
   I saw the light of my spirit descend the other day
F#m        E               D           C#m            A
     I was standing by the bus stop on northeast 33rd
                    C#m
When I got the word


E           B          A                    E
  I will be made a new creature one bright day
        E       B    A 
I don't have to be afraid
                       E     B
Speed that day on it's way
    E                 D              C#m      B      A
And you can't tell me what my spirit tells me isn't true
         Dmaj7
Can you?

G#m            A                 F#m
    Woke up on lockdown one more time
   E             D     A
My visions won't ever learn
E               B               C#m
  But I see the light that much clearer
A              C#m
Every time I return


F#m      E             D
Forge my armor in the old fire
   C#m                   A
My spirit sings loud and clear
        C#m
Even in here


E         B             A
I'll be reborn someday, someday 
A           B     E
  If I wait long enough
        E       B     A
I don't have to be afraid
        A       B     E
I don't want to be afraid
    E                 D              C#m      B     A
And you can't tell me what my spirit tells me isn't true
         Dmaj7
Can you?
