A single note passes out of the ashes A flickering ember begins It's the courage to turn when the pages have burned And your story now seems at an end Seasons stay and seasons go Sending your memories adrift It's the beautiful longing, embrace the unknown That's the mystery of your gift And the echoes of your melo--dy will always live in these walls And the lessons that you gave to me, before you can fly, you must fall It's the beautiful longing, embrace the unknown That's the mystery of your gift There's a voice in the shadow calling for more There's a rhythm that beats from within Lending your voice to the warmth of the song There's a strength in the choir of one Pure as the voice that sees the place where the weight of your past may now lift It's the beautiful longing, embrace the unknown That's the mystery of your gift And the echoes of your melo--dy will always live in these walls And the lessons that you gave to me, before you can fly, you must fall So sing higher & higher, a thousand new voices ring through If you sing out of the fire, the courage you need comes from you **[Chorus] And the echoes of your melo--dy will always live in these walls And the lessons that you gave to me, before you can fly, you must fall It's the beautiful longing, embrace the unknown That's the mystery of your gift It's the beautiful longing, embrace the unknown That's the mystery of your gift ** The last part of the last chorus is played different in the actual recording: And the echoes of your melo--dy will always live in these walls And the lessons that you gave to me, before you can fly, you must fall It's the beautiful longing, embrace the unknown That's the mystery of your gift Over the second half he plays his intro piano lick. For [....] the mystery [....] you can hear that he plays it aggressively to make it stand out from the intro lick.
