Verse
Em
Do you think the stars know,
D
That they’re seen from so far down below?
Em
Or when the warm wind blows,
D
Does it tell the grass to grow?
[Verse 2]
Em
Why do you think the birds sing?
D
Do they think that someone’s listening?
Em
Or do they sing,
D
To try and chase away the snow?
[Verse 3]
Em
And if the stars hid from the night,
D
Do you think that someone would realize?
Em
The light had died,
D
Or would they even know?
[Verse 4]
Em
And if a silence filled the air,
D
Do you think that anyone would even care?
Em
Would they be aware,
D
Of the mounting snow?
[Chorus 1]
Em D
We never notice all the green around us until the season’s passed.
Em D
We never long for the world to slow down until it goes too fast,
Em D
If everything plays a grander part in a fate we’ll never meet,
Em D
Is my destiny to fade away, have a goal I’ll never reach?
Em D
Em I incomplete?
Em D Em D
[Verse 5]
Em
Do you wonder if the snow knows,
D
It leaves behind a world with room to grow,
Em
Or when the sun dips low,
D
It gives the moon a chance to glow.
[Verse 6]
Em
Do you wonder why the sky cries,
D
Through its tears it brings forth greener life,
Em
Or when it cries,
D
Does it even know?
[Chorus 2]
Em D
We never listen for the songs around us until the sound is still.
Em D
We never see what our life is worth, and perhaps we never will...
Em D
If everything plays a grander part in a fate we’ll never meet,
Em D
Is my destiny to fade away, have a goal I’ll never reach?
Em D
Em I incomplete?
[Bridge]
Em D
And though the sky still cries, and the flowers die,
Em D
The sun can’t shine if the rains don’t pass by,
Em C D
Flowers die but still they find new life.
Em C D
And though I may not shine as bright as the stars.
Em C D
I refuse to let my fate be set by my scars.
Em C D
I’ll carry on, and I’ll do it just for me.
Em C D
I’ll be complete.
[Chorus 1]
Em D
We never notice all the green around us until the season’s passed.
Em D
We never long for the world to slow down until it goes too fast,
Em D
If everything plays a grander part in a fate I’ll never meet,
Em D
Is my destiny to fade away, have a goal I’ll never reach?
[Chorus 3]
Em D
We never listen for the songs around us until the sound is still.
Em D
We never see what our life is worth, and perhaps we never will...
Em D
If everything plays a grander part in a fate we’ll never meet,
Em D
I will not let my days slip away, I will rise up on two feet.
Em D
And I’ll be complete.
