G
[Verse 1]
G
When will I
When will I
When will I trust the way
Dm G
We are born just to die and fade away
Dm G
We are born to be creatures of a day
[Verse 2]
G
I am breathing
I am crying
I who delight in song
Dm G
I am the resonant string of a music soon gone
[Bridge]
Dm G
And I know I’m crumbling
Dm G
And I know I’ll fall
Cm G
And I know that when the desert sands have covered me
F G
That the only certain thing is mutability
[Verse 3]
G
When will I
When will I
When will I trust the way
Dm G
We are born, we are soul that’s set in clay
Dm G
We are born just to die and fade away
Dm G
We are born to be creatures of a day
