F#m       E          C#m                   D
I had a dream that all of time was running dry
F#m       E              C#m                   D
And life was like a comet falling from the sky
F#m       E         C#m                     D
I woke so frightened in the dawning, oh so clear
F#m          E          C#m
How precious is the time we have here

Are we not wise enough to give all we are?
              F#m                           C#m
Surely we're bright enough to outshine the stars
                D         F#m/C#            F#m
The human kind gets so lost in finding its way
                 D               F#m/C#       E         F#m
But we have a chance to make a difference til our dying day

F#m          E
And you might pray to God
C#m           D
Or say it's destiny
F#m   E
But I think we are just hiding
C#m              D
All that we can be

F#m                        E
All I'm really asking is: what are we doing here?
 F#m                        E
Are we just killing time? Just living year to year?
D             E F#m                            E
In this big world, no one else can play our part
D                           E             F#m
Ain't it time to just wake up and give it all
