Intro: Bbm

Verse 1:
Bbm
Our ancestors had to fight to survive
Bbm
Just so we could have a chance of a life
Bbm
We're not here so we can blow it all
Bbm
We could bear witness to the rise and the fall

Pre-Chorus:
Ebm
Ancient dreams in a modern land
Ebm
I'm trying to get back as fast I can
Ebm
Back to a time before I had form
Ebm
Back to a time before I was born

Chorus:
Bbm
You don't have to be like everybody else
                  Bbm
You don't have to fit into the norm

You are not here to conform
Bbm
I am here to take a look inside myself
               Bbm
Recognize that I could be the eye, the eye of the storm

Post-Chorus:
Gbm           D           Db          Gbm
I am not my body, not my mind or my brain -Ha!-
Gbm                  D             Db      Gbm
Not my thoughts or feelings, I am not my DNA
Gbm          D            Db          Gbm
I am the observer, I'm a witness of life
Gbm             D                Db             Gbm
I live in the space between the stars and the sky

Verse 2:
Bbm
What's your purpose, why were you put on Earth?
Bbm
You could be lost but you belong to the world
Bbm
We're now living in a seminal age
Bbm
The walls are being broken and we're ready for change

Pre-Chorus:
Ebm
Ancient dreams in a modern land
Ebm
I'm trying to get back as fast I can
Ebm
Back to a time before I had form
Ebm
Back to a time before I was born

Chorus:
Bbm
You don't have to be like everybody else
                  Bbm
You don't have to fit into the norm

You are not here to conform
Bbm
I am here to take a look inside myself
               Bbm
Recognize that I could be the eye, the eye of the storm

Post-Chorus:
Gbm           D           Db          Gbm
I am not my body, not my mind or my brain -Ha!-
Gbm                  D             Db      Gbm
Not my thoughts or feelings, I am not my DNA
Gbm          D            Db          Gb
I am the observer, I'm a witness of life
Gbm             D                Db             Gbm
I live in the space between the stars and the sky

Bridge:
Bbm
From the heart of Malaysia
Bbm
To the tall Himalayas
Bbm
From the day we're born
Bbm
You are not here to conform

Chorus:
Bbm
You don't have to be like everybody else
                  Bbm
You don't have to fit into the norm

You are not here to conform
Bbm
I am here to take a look inside myself
               Bbm
Recognize that I could be the eye, the eye of the storm

Post-Chorus:
Gbm           D           Db          Gbm
I am not my body, not my mind or my brain -Ha!-
Gbm                  D             Db      Gbm
Not my thoughts or feelings, I am not my DNA
Gbm          D            Db          Gbm
I am the observer, I'm a witness of life
Gbm             D                Db             Gbm
I live in the space between the stars and the sky
