Ronan Keating - The Voyage: chords

E                      B           E     B
They say the skies of lebanon are burning
       E              B              E
Those mighty cedars bleeding in the heat
               E           B         E   B
They're showing pictures on the television
                    B
Women and children dying in the streets
A
And we're still at it in our own place
              B                               E
Still trying to reach the future through the past
              A
Still trying to carve tomorrow from a tombstone

Chorus:
     E                    B
But hey don't listen to me
             E              A
This wasn't meant to be no sad song
                             B
I've sang to much of that before
E                       B
Right now I only want to be here with you
          B                 E
Till the morning dew comes falling
                          A
I want to take you to the island
                                  E
And trace your footprints in the sand
                                 B
And in the evening when there's no one around
                                      E
We'll make love to the sound of the ocean

They're raising banners over by the markets
White-washing slogans on the shipyard walls
Witch doctors praying for a mighty showdown
No way way our holy flag is gonna fall
Up here we sacrifice our children
To feed the worn out dreams of yesterday
And teach them dying will lead us into glory

Chorus:
But hey don't listen to me
This wasn't meant to be no sad song
We've heard too much of that before
Right now I only want to be here with you
Till the morning dew comes falling
I want to take you to the island
And trace your footprints in the sand
And in the evening when the sun goes down
We'll make love to the sound of the ocean

Now I know us plain folks don't see all the story
And all this peace and love's just copping out
And I guess these young boys dying in the ditches
Is just what being free is all about
And how this twisted wreckage down on main street
Will bring us all together in the end
And we’ll go marching down
the road to freedom, freedom
