[Verse 1]
Em                        G
Kneeling by the side of a stream
  Bm                 Em
I bowed to the clear waters
Em
Shadows danced in the deep
G          Bm          Em     D
Sparkle of gold on the surface
C                     G
The brook babbled and shone
   Bm               D
As light and shadow slithered

[Chorus]
C                    Am
I spread my arms and clenched my fists
  G            Em       D
I listened and I closed my eyes
   C             Am
To recognize the balance
               Em       G       D
I recalled the words of ancient seers
    C       Am
The council of the dead
Em                 D
 The advice of the living
Em          C        Bm
I raised my hands, unclenched my fists
    G  D
Thе shadow slithered away

[Verse 2]
Em              G
Dazzling in its shining green
  Bm              Em
A living tree was drawn
               G         Bm         Em
With specks of light and strеaks of shadow
C                       G
Seizing the light in my hand
              Bm         D
I weighed the shadow in another
Em                       G
Heavy as a mountain they were
     Bm             Em     D
Each lighter than a feather

[Chorus]
C                    Am
I spread my arms and clenched my fists
  G            Em       D
I listened and I closed my eyes
   C             Am
To recognize the balance
               Em       G       D
I recalled the words of ancient seers
    C       Am
The council of the dead
Em                 D
 The advice of the living
Em          C        Bm
I raised my hands, unclenched my fists
    G  Dm            Em
Thе shadow slithered away

F                           Dm
Rising up to stand once more
Am                           Cm Dm
So tiny under the great trees
F                              D
I spied the treetops high above
Am
The meander of their branches

I raised my hands, unclenched my fists
