Verse 1:
F
Hot sand on toes, cold sand in sleeping bags,
                       Dm
I've come to know that memories
         C
Were the best things you ever had
F
The summer shone beat down on bony backs
                           Dm
So far from home where the ocean stood
        C                F       Dm  C
Down dust and pine cone tracks
F
We slept like dogs down by the fire side
                      Dm
Awoke to the fog all around us
      C                 F  Dm  C
The boom of summer time

Chorus:
F
We stood
               Am
Steady as the stars in the woods
          F
So happy-hearted
                                    Am
And the warmth rang true inside these bones
        Dm              C
As the old pine fell we sang
                           F  Dm  C
Just to bless the morning.

Verse 2:
F
Hot sand on toes, cold sand in sleeping bags,
                       Dm
I've come to know the friends around you
    C
Are all you'll always have
F
Smoke in my lungs, or the echoed stone
                      Dm                   C
Careless and young, free as the birds that fly
                  F          Dm   C
With weightless souls now.

Chorus:
F
We stood
               Am
Steady as the stars in the woods
           F
So happy-hearted
                               Am
And the warmth rang true inside these bones x2:
        Dm               C
As the old pine fell we sang
                           F  Dm  C
Just to bless the morning.

Instrumental: F Dm C

Outro:
F
We grow, grow, steady as the morning
               Dm    C
We grow, grow, older still
F
We grow, grow, happy as a new dawn
                Dm   C
We grow, grow, older still
F
We grow, grow, steady as the flowers
                Dm    C
We grow, grow, older still
F
We grow, grow, happy as a new dawn
                Dm   C
We grow, grow, older still

Outro:
   F  Dm  C -x4-
   F
