The Many Ways of Spirit

Key of G

G C G C D

1. Sometimes its so hard to make sense of it all, sometimes we fly high, then we have a great fall;

C G C D

Why must we suffer the way that we do, why can’t we understand life?

G C G C D

Somewhere out there is the answer, some search their whole life through,

C G C D

Many find ways of distracting themselves, they don’t know that they’re searching too.

C G C G

Chorus Well, the answers are found in the laugh of a child, in the beauty of a spring day.

C G C D

They’re whispered to us on the soft autumn breeze, they come in so many ways.

C G C G

They’re found in the birds that glide on the wind, and in the smallest drop of rain.

C G C D

They’re found in the happy moments of our lives, and in our moments of pain.

 

2. And the questions we have of life just seem to grow

We have a longing, a wanting to know.

Well, the paths we can follow are many,

And each thinks it’s the best way to go.

But the ways of Spirit can’t be contained,

Or set in any book of rules.

They’re written on the pages of our lives,

And the lives of kings and of fools.

Chorus

3. But you know the answers have been there all along,

Told by the wisemen of old.

They’ve come down through the ages you know,

At least that’s what I’ve been told.

But now they seem strangely familiar,

Like we’ve heard them before in a song.

It’s like we’re just remembering again,

What we’ve really known all along

Chorus - (plus first half of chorus)
