 -  -  -  x2
 If they  tell me that the bees
 Don't make honey  anymore
 Then what  am I supposed to tell you
 And if they tell  me that the ocean
 Is tired  of her shores
 Then tell  me
 What am I supposed to tell you
 When I can't tell you anything
 But the truth
 When I can't tell you anything
 But the truth
 What happens  to an eagle who's nest  is in a storm
 How  does the mama
 Keep the baby  warm
 The  wind is telling us that its time
 And what  if we're not ready to fly
 When I can't tell you anything
 But the truth
 When I can't tell you anything
 But the truth
Tree  tops they touch  the ground
In  the morning walk with  no sound
 Hear no birds,  hear no planes
 Through the mud,  feel the clay
 Build it up,  make it sing
 Make it strong,  give it wings
 When I can't tell you anything
 But the truth
 When I can't tell you anything
 But the truth
What  is this place
 Who am  I
 Why did we come  here
What  is this place
 Who am  I
 Why did we come  here
I  don't know I  don't know
 But  I don't know
 That we're meant  to know
I  don't know I  don't know
 But  I don't know
 That we're meant  to know
 E - A - Cm - F#m x2 .. And end on E
 Nice and quiet song :)
