Verse 1
[Am]Above the plains of Omaha
I [G]think of all the sufferin' I [C]saw[E]
The [F]soakin' of the [C]pavement
[G]Sprawled upon a land without a [F]law
[G]Everythin' I loved, [Am]everythin' I [Em]found what I hoped [F]for
Frightened and [C]surrounded
Who [G]else is there to turn to [F]anymore?

Verse 2
There [Am]was a time I spoke the truth
But my [G]younger years were wasted on my [C]youth[E]
[F]Somewhere I [C]awakened
With a [G]crack to a poundin' on the [F]roof
[G]Sure I heard the sound
As [Am]evidence, or [Em]better yet as [F]proof
I was naked as the [C]day I was [G]born
'Neath the fullness of the [F]moon

Verse 3
The [Am]blinding light of morning came
[G]Flooding through the window like a [C]friend[E]
Like a [F]wild [C]revelation
Like a [G]shining invitation to [F]attend
[G]Spoken as a prayer
[Am]Unbroken by [Em]despair I make [F]amends
The [F]love inside our [C]hearts
Is the [G]only kind of savior we've been [F]sent
Chorus
