They come to me stronger than before



(rhyfig 1) Same chords, but listen to the record for exact notes.

On winds of time my soul will fly
The angels are knocking at my door
Oh now I need to be free
From all this hatred I feel inside


             Am                    F
Let it be my dreams  Let it be my thoughts

One too many days  One too many years

The carousel is spinning fast
                      C
Better enjoy while it lasts


Every moment is like gold
                            E
You'll remember when you're old

And the meaning of this life
                     C
Is to live and is to die

Make the best out of your dreams
                                 E
They are the world where you are free

All the sorrow and the pain
                       C
Will be washed away by rain

An eternal joy will come
                        E
It can be found by everyone

Though the end is drawing near
                    C
I'm not feeling any fear

I have found the truth inside
                      E
After all the tears I cry

          C
