[Intro 1]
[G][F#m][Bm][Em][D][Em]
[G]That's

[Verse 1]
why the birdie sings,
[F#m]that's why the violin [Em]rings,
that's why the water glistens
[D]in the dis[Em]tance.
While [G]you sing out the future's bright
[F#m]The distance out of sight
[Bm]Let's [Em]keep on moving
as the [D]dream is over [Em]the h[G]ill
Whoa, [F#m]oh, oh[Bm], oh[Em], oh[D]
[Em]Over[G] the hill there's anothe[F#m]r hill
And an[Em]other mountaintop
[D]Onc[F#m]e we g[G]et there,
there's an[F#m]other range
and an[Em]other so we can [D]start[Em]
[G]That's why the birdies sing,
[F#m]that's why the violins
[Em]It's why the water glistens
[D]and the crystals [Em]fire[G]
Sing out, future's [F#m]bright,
the distance out of sight
[Bm]Let's [Em]keep on moving
as the [D]dream is [Em]over[G][F#m]
[Bm][Em][Bm][Em][D]
[Em]Down [G]that old road on the [F#m]horizon
I [Bm]be l[Em]ieve is the finishing li[D]ne[Em]
[G]Once we get there it's a [F#m]cruel surprise
In [Bm]the d[Em]istance the
horizon [D]smiles[Em][D]
[G]That's why the birds sing
[F#m]That's why the violins
[Em]It's why the water glistens
[D]In the dis[Em]tance [F#m]for yo[G]u
I'm free for destiny
[F#m]It's where I'm gonna be
[Bm]The [Em]destination is of
[D]no particu[Em]lar concern
[G]That's why the eagle chills
[F#m]That's why the
pathway [Em]builds,
oh how the seagulls cry,
don't [D]let life pass you [G]by
That's why the children smile,
[F#m]that's why the crocodile,
[Em]it keeps its chewing till the drea[D]m is over [Em]the hill[G][F#m][D][F#m][D][F#m][Bm][Em][Bm]
[Em][D][Em][G][F#m][D][F#m][Bm][F#m][Bm][Em]
[D][Em][G][F#m][Bm][Em]
[D][G]
That's why the bluebirds cry
[F#m]That's why the butterflies die
[Em]That's why the water glistens
[D]in the distance
[G]Hang through for destiny
[F#m]It's where we gotta be
[Bm]It k[Em]eeps us ticking
till the [D]dream is [Em]over
[D]Sing [G]out the future's bright
[F#m]The distance out of[D] sight
[Em]Let's keep on moving
as the [D]dream is over
That hill
