Some  may say  The choice is ours
 Others seek advice  while starin at the stars
 Others fold their hands  and pray and wait
 Hoping that one  momentous day Their heaven  will await
And  those who hope through microscopes  each day
Say  they know the answer but its only  theory
Was  our fate  set in stone
A  thousand years ago
 ................. A  thousand years ago
 ................. A  thousand years ago
 MMMhhh  MMhhh
There  exists a girl halfway  round the world who looks as lost  as
 lost could be Who looks exhausted  just like me
And  she's been losing sleep  over thoughts too deep  to consume
 As she stares at the ceiling of her room
 And though she's trying  so hard to make some sense about
Every  little thing and each event that
Comes  her way and now she's praying
Up  into the sky where her god is waiting
But  is he really there  to listen to her prayers
 Or is he from a story
 A thousand years ago
 
 (bridge)
 What do you believe is true
 in a world that's filled with lies
 And who do you think painted  the pictures
 that became our morning skies
 Do you even think at all  or are just another
Materialistic  fool or skeptic Who counts their
 money just to see if they're alive
uh  huh And are you alive
 I havent got the next part i'll call it the interldue since i used bridge already.
 Its starts off:
E E? Then some kind of A and slide to some kind of B
I think... (good Luck)
