/Am /Asus2
oh the magi were the prophets
/Asus4 /Am
and they wandered through the desert
/Dm
they saw the star above them
/Am /E
and they knew they’d find their way
/Am /Asus2
through the valley of the shadow
/Asus4 /Am
with the hope of human kindness
/Dm
they were strengthened by the vision
/Am /E
of a new and brighter day .

chorus :
/C /G
and the wisemen spoke of peace on earth ,
/E /Am
of harmony and struggle
/F /C /F /G
know you now a cycle’s gone and a new one is revealed .
/C /G
in the weaving of your fingers
/E /Am
in the whisper of a love that’s born again
/F /C
in the weaving of your fingers
/F /E
in a promise that we made that never ends .

/Am /Asus2
well now each man is a pilgrim ,
/Asus4 /Am
yes , we all must make the journey

/Dm /Am /E
and it seems that time is telling us to be all that we can
/Am /Asus2 /Asus4 /Am
to help lift up the fallen , we must sow the seeds of goodness
/Dm /Am /E
the torch is passed among us now to light the way of man .

/C /G
for the heart of man’s a palace
/E /Am
and his dreams are as the sunlight
/F /C /F /G
they burn away the darkness , as they warm the freezing cold
/C /Am
as an eagle flying higher , as a river through the canyon
/F /C /F /G
the diamond star shines down upon , a pathway to the soul

( chorus ) 2x

in a promise that we made that never ends .
/F /E
in a promise that we made that never ends .
