C Bb/C C
If I have weaknesses
Bb/C Am/C Bb
Don't let them blind me
C Bb
Or camouflage all I am wary of
C Bb/C C Bb Am
I could be sailing in seizures of laughter
Bb C Bb/C C Am Bb C
Or crawling out from under the heel of love
Bb/C Am/C Bb C
Do my prayers remain unanswered
Bb/C Am/C Bb C/Bb Bb
Like a beggar at your sleeve
C Bb/C Am/C Bb Am/Bb Bb
Olodumare is smiling in heaven
C Bb/C Am/C Am Bb
Smiling in heaven I do believe

Reach in the darkness
C6 Bb
A reach in the dark
C6 Bb
Reach in the darkness
C6 Bb
A reach in the dark
C6 Bb C6 Bb
To overcome an obstacle or an enemy
C6 Bb C6 Bb
To glide away from the razor or a knife
C6 Bb C6 Bb
To overcome an obstacle or an enemy
C6 Bb C6 Bb
To dominate the impossible in your life

Bb/C C Bb/C Am/C Bb
Always a stranger when strange isn't fashionable
C Bb
And fashion is rich people waving at the door
C Bb/C C Bb Am Bb
Or it's a dealer in drugs or in passion
C Bb/C C Am Bb C
Lies of a nature we've heard before
Bb/C Am/C Bb C
Do my prayers remain unanswered
Bb/C Am/C Bb C/Bb Bb
Like a beggar at your sleeve
C Bb/C Am Bb Am/Bb
Babalu-aye spins on his crutches
Bb C Bb/C
Says leave if you want
Am/C Am Bb
If you want to leave

To glide away from the razor or a knife
