G                        Cm
Morning prayers took the girl unawares
         F                      C
She was late for class and she knew it
      G               Cm
The broadcaster had a voice that was soothing
     F                   C
She couldn’t tell if it was a man or wo-man
A               C              G
A patch of sun fell onto her neck
A            C                       G
She put her head on her arms on her desk

The lesson today was Acts of Apostles
The crazy hippies, they're running scared
She shut her eyes and imagined the desert
No cars, no mobiles, just sun and bread
What would she look like standing by the well?
More like a women and less like a girl

Chorus:
A#                   D#
“Oh, if I could make sense of it all!
A#                                       D#
I wish that I could sing.  I’d stay in a melody
                                      A#
I would float along in my everlasting song
                     Asus4    D
What would I do to believe?”

Later on she plays Morning Has Broken
She knows she's bad
She is slowing everybody down
The choirmaster, usually a bastard, knows
her mother's sick
He'll be nice to her
She thinks that she shouldn't be there at all
Her worries make everything else seem trivial

Chorus:
Oh, if I could make sense of it all!
I wish that I could sing
I'd stay in a melody
I would float along in my everlasting song
What would I do to believe?'
