Shooting Star

	  		E 
You were born into the storm 
B 
Cast adrift upon a wave 
F#m          A                E 
To be living and make life begin 
E 
Like the ancient mystic ship 
B 
Bounding seaward toward the sun 
F#m              A             E 
Becomes a cosmic dancer in the wind 
E 
Stars that shine and rains that swirls 
B 
Sparkling sands of endless worlds 
F#m           A                    E 
Driven by the thought that men are free 
E 
Love that makes and breaks a man 
B 
Memories fade and new ones stand 
F#m         A                       E 
And another ship bounds through the sea 
A                                C#m                   
Like in dreams sometimes it's so confusing to change 
                   A 
When you move from where you have been 
B                 C#m 
To where you have come 
A                             C#m 
Like in life when you look in to a child's eyes 
              A 
They see it's all very clear 
B                  E 
It's near and then gone 
E 
Before the rising of the sun 
B 
Before the whirling winds were stirred 
F#m               A                  E 
Before the simple rhymes of men were sung 
E 
Before the age of hate and pride 
B 
Before we laughed, before we cried 
F#m         A                  E 
We were all contained and then begun
