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