KEY: F

F               /E  Dm            Am

We were born perfect in every way
Bb                          Am

Beaming with golden light
Bb                              C                                 F              /E

Blessed with "I can" Can you remember?
F               /E  Dm                 Am

You were born filled with your holy plan
Bb            Am                Bb                         C

It is not lost to you It's waiting inside
   Abmaj7                       Fm              Bb                  Ebmaj7

 What keeps us cradling belief in our own limitations
  Ab                               Eb                                         F

 What keeps us circling below what we are
   Abmaj7                       Fm           Bb                  Ebmaj7

 What keeps us looking on while life whirls around us
  Ab                               Eb            F                                                   C

 What keeps us living "no" when we're made to be "yes"

We were born to medal in every race

See God in every place

To dance the I AM can you remember?

You were born with power beyond your dreams

To embrace every living thing With heart open wide

 What keeps us holding on to mem'ries of deep separation

 What keeps the distance between you and I

 What keeps us wishing hard starving on "what-if's" and "maybe's"

 What keeps us living "no" when we're made to be "yes"

       F                             Dm                        Bb                        C
      Here's to the wounded years here's to the pain
      F                             Dm                        Bb                        C

      Here's to the blame I've laid here's to mistakes
      F                             Dm               Bb                            C

      Here's to the critic's eye born in childish fears
      F                             Dm               Bb                        C

      Here's to the shaky walls all covered with tears
      Bb                         Am                       Bb                  Am

      Here's to the ways I bought here's to lost time
      Bb                   Bb/C         C          F     /E  Dm  Bb C  Bb  C

      Here's to leaving it all behind

F                    /E       Dm                                Am

We were born     with not one care in the world

Bb                     Am                Bb                   Bb/C      C              F

Why not return to there I know we can I know we can
