Am C G
Blessed are the one way ticket holders
On a one way street
Am C
Blessed are the midnight riders
G
For in the shadow of God they sleep
Am C
Blessed are the huddled hikers
G
Staring out at falling rain
Am C
Wondering at the retribution
Am Em
In their personal acquaintance with pain
Am C
Blessed are the blood relations
G
Of the young ones who have died
Am C
Who had not the time or patience
G
To carry on this earthly ride
[Bridge]
Em C G
Rain will come and winds will blow
Am C
Wild deer die in the mountain snow
Em C G
Birds will beat at heaven's wall
Am C D
What comes to one must come to us all
[Verse]
Am C G
For you and I are one way ticket holders
On a one way street
Am C
Which lies across a golden valley
G
Where the waters of joy and hope run deep
Am C G
So if you pass the parents weeping
Of the young ones who have died
Am C
Take them to your warmth and keeping
C D
For blessed are the tears they cried
Am C D
And many were the years they tried
C Am D
Take them to that valley wide
C G
And let their souls be pacified
