Intro: Bb F Gm Eb F Bb Verse 1: Bb A Christian reads the Bible, Eb Bb puts his life in God’s own hands, Eb Dm Yet some who wear the cross still build F their walls of sand. Gm They draw their lines of “us and them,” Eb preach love but choose to fight, Bb And trade the words of mercy for the F Bb comfort of being right.
Verse 2: Bb A Jew is taught by Torah, Eb Bb by the Mitzvot, day by day, Gm To honor life and justice, F to walk a mindful way. Gm Yet even there, some hearts Eb still choose the path of war, Bb And sacred words are silenced F Bb by the sound of cannons’ roar. Chorus: Bb Eb Without belief we’re all the same, Bb no higher, no divine, F Our blood is red, it beats in you, Eb Bb it beats in me, in time. Eb Bb Gm For loving your neighbor needs no heaven above, Bb F Bb Just a simple human heart that knows how to love. Verse 3: Bb A Muslim reads the Qur’an, Eb Bb of peace and mercy told, Gm Of caring for the weak ones, F of hearts not bought or sold. Gm Yet God’s own name is twisted Eb by the hands of fear and hate, Bb To оправen crimes and murder, F Bb sealing someone else’s fate. Chorus: Bb Eb Without belief we’re all the same, Bb no higher, no divine, F Our blood is red, it beats in you, Eb Bb it beats in me, in time. Eb Bb Gm For loving your neighbor needs no heaven above, Bb F Bb Just a simple human heart that knows how to love. Verse 4: Bb What would this world look like Eb Bb if faith no longer ruled? Gm No wars for holy reasons, Bb F no children taught to hate in schools. Gm No killing in God’s shadow, Eb no “one truth” carved in stone, Bb No church or crown F Bb declaring heaven theirs alone. Bridge: Bb A world without a god Eb Bb could still be rich and fair, Gm With laws that stand for everyone, Bb the same weight everywhere. Gm No temple, church, or mosque Eb is needed to begin, Bb It only takes one open heart, F Bb alive with love within. Chorus: Bb Eb Without belief we’re all the same, Bb no higher, no divine, F Our blood is red, it beats in you, Eb Bb it beats in me, in time. Eb Bb Gm For loving your neighbor needs no heaven above, Bb F Bb Just a simple human heart that knows how to love. Outro: Eb Bb Without belief we’re all the same, Eb F Bb Without belief we all can life in peace
