[Verse]
                                 D               C#augOut here on the tower the air is cold and clear
                       C                GThe stars and moon are bright above us
                      D            C#augA night wind whispers in our ears
                C  GAnd it loves us
                     D         C#augAnd though your body weary is
                    C               GIn this grand canyon state of mind
                             D              C#augIf high stream of dreams and truth be told
                   C            GAnd our intentions be entwined
                           D            C#augThen from these high flung tower walls
                      C               GLet healing grace and blessings fall
                          D            C#augOver all this cracked and broken land
                      C              GFrom northern crag to southern down
                       D            C#augFrom universal hall to Camden town
                    C              GFrom city square to village green
                   D               C#augFrom parliament to housing scheme
                 C               EFrom Iona to the hill of dreams

[Chorus]
               C#m                        AI sacrifice my power on the altar of your love
AThat it may be born again
