(Verse 1) A, Am7, Dmaj7, F#m7, E Take a different path And walk with me Through the lands of the evergreen and into the wild Where the mind is clear and the souls alive Rejoice in the simple things, nature provides Know where we headed And we know just where were found Living oh simply now on sacred ground Ain't got no heavy load that the lord don't know Take me back to where it all began (Chorus 1) F#m (9th), Dmaj7 I know I know, you will find me Where the rivers run deep And my soul is yearning To return to the land Where the light does shine (Verse 2) A, Am7, A6d, Dmaj7, Fmaj7 (8th fret) I remember the joyous days we laughed and we sang We listened to the wise ones, and what they had to say The land was beautiful and the air was clear We lived our days in a simple way (Chorus 2) F#m (9th), Dmaj7, F#m (9th), Dmaj7, Bm7, C#m7 But things are very different today I said the winds are howling strong I feel change is on its way Heya Heyana Heya Heyana Bring the message to the people of this land Heya Heyana Heya Heyana Time to rise and finally see the light of day I left the lands of nature And built an empire high Had my first taste of sin Chasing dreams in city life And in my ignorance I fell prey to illusions Indulged in all the fine sweet things That the modern world brings (Verse 3) But none of this was ever enough To take me from my light None of this could take me from my light Out of the labyrinth, I walk away To find the true souls, who still live on this day Who remember the world before the heartless came With their poison minds and thier ego games (Chorus 3) F#m (9th), Dmaj7, F#m (9th), Dmaj7, Bm7, C#m7 Yeah, what are we waiting for Storm is brewing, all across this land I feel the machines coming Feel them rumbling at my feet As they try and chop down this land again Said the fires are burning And the earth is rumbling By those who search for gold Who are hungry for the power Yeah the ice is melting And the species dying Tell me where is the heart Where is the heart of man (Bridge) Bm, A, E - Bm, A/F#!!, E Through the darkness and into the storm I said I'm ready, to find another way This is not the way I thought that things would go But I will live my life with truth inside Courage in my soul We've got to decide what path to take Somewhere inside I remember the elders tell me We all uphold the web of life (Break) Bm, A, E - Bm, A/F#!!, E And on the day The earth stood still Skies did clear Not a plane to be seen Great mother earth I don't think that I can live in a lie So take me home back to the great river of life And cleanse this heart So I may be reborn of light and soul And on this day I said the earth will stand still In honor of you I can't hold on, no none of us can But If you're ready to rise, well then take my hand We'll make a choice to leave it all behind And fight for the ones we love Bm, A, E - Bm, A/F#!!, E Woah great river of life Guide us back into your flow Great stars above remind us of our true home I wanna know right now that you'll take your place For the ones we love And the ones we left behind I wanna know right now that you'll take your place Yeah! rise up people rise! I said the hour has come, time is near Realize This land belongs to the soul of man Off with the clothes and into the river And drop all lies And wash it all away Call the River of life To cleanse us of our strife All the wicked ways of men And the darkness of the past I am the heart of man who cannot be tamed I am the breath of life that cannot be named I am a part of this land that cannot be bought And my soul will not be sold, no no! Ignite my fire Ignite my flame Great mother earth We hear your call Heya heyana Heya heyana
