… from everywhere and now to here The sound of bells as evening edges near
G D G A D G A
Vacant eyes stare out to sea A hungry world is staring back for free.
Bm A
Standing here we make no sound Believing love can still be found
G D G A D G A
Desperate we search for common ground
[Verse 2]

Phoenician ships sail out to sea Filed with time and ancient history
G D G A D G A
While other ships sail out to space To search for time of win some ancient race
Bm A
But Icarus beware the sun Your youthful feathers come undone
G D G A D G A
We watch them fall, We count them one by one
[Verse 3]
G D G A D G A
No barefoot tribes to walk the land Civilised we bleed them into sand
G D G A D G A
And the tallest poppies fall from grace Hollow men take power and take their place

The atom splits black holes are born Into this chaos science warns

Truth is written down on shifting sands

[Verse 4]
G D G A D G A
Urgently we search for clues Every morning read the daily news
G D G A D G A
Hollow words that ring and ring New York city hear the sirens sing
Bm A
If mushroom clouds hang overhead We’ll tuck our children into bed
G D G A D G A
Saying this is what we’ve all be waiting for
[Verse 5]
G D G A D G A
Billowed sails and blood red sun Flags are raised and tear apart each one
G D G A D G A
While nations battle rise and fall Love walks lonely by the berlin wall
Bm A
Carelessly we make no sound And hope that love can still be found
G D G A D G A
While planet earth is built on common ground
[Outro]
G Bm
Love wants to be found
G
As planet built is built on common
G
As planet built is built on common
G D G A D G A
As planet built is built on common ground
