Em
The sun is rising
G
My shadow is getting shorter
C
I’m chasing the horizon
G
Trying to cross that border.
Em
Been to all the time zones
G
From the Poles to the tropics
C
I’m chasing the horizon
G
Feeling so myopic.
Em
Twenty five thousand miles
G
multiplied several times
C
That’s the length of my way
G
full of precipices and heights,
Em
Falls and climbs, good signs,
C
Strange harbingers and bad prophets
G
My footprints cover the planet
C
From the Poles to the tropics.
Em
I keep on wandering like Ahasuerus
C
My trip is hazardous.
G
The sun is rising again
C
like Saint Lazarus
Em
And as it’s rising
G
My shadow is getting shorter
C
I’m chasing the horizon
G
Trying to cross that border...
Chorus:Em
...But the faster I try to run
G
The farther away it gets.
C
Forgot where the start was.
G F#
Can’t see where I’m going.
Em
This work will never be done
G
And it makes no other sense.
C
The start and the finish
G F#
Are two sides of the same coin.
Em
The sun is dying
C
The dark is getting stronger
G
I’m chasing the horizon
C
Trying to cross that border
Em
Realistic imagination
C
Spiritually captivated
G
Lost in your creation
C
My existence uncomplicated
Em
The universe is aligned,
C
purposefully designed
G
Guiding me through the nights.
C
The great unknown to the great divide
Em
I realize. They’ve lied!
C
The sign is illuminated.
G
Finding significance
C
Again spiritually captivated
Em
Even if they say I’ve imagined this
C
Then who can fathom this?
G
I’ve been to the end
G
of the world and back again
Em
So I’ll keep trying
C
When the dark is getting stronger
G
To capture the horizon
C
Even if I never cross that border
Chorus:Em
...But the faster I try to run
G
The farther away it gets.
C
Forgot where the start was.
G F#
Can’t see where I’m going.
Em
This work will never be done
G
And it makes no other sense.
C
The start and the finish
G F#
Are two sides of the same coin.
