Verse:
     C                       Am
My childhood wasn't what you might call a success
      Dm                             G7
I was born in northern England in a time of strife and stress
     C                   Am
The war was over and somebody said we'd won
      Dm                             G
But I was too young to know all the damage that was done
Am                            F
Now looking back, there are things that I recall
        C                E               Am  Fm
I was frightened of the dark when I was small
C               Dm          G
They said it's over now at last
C             Dm             G
Think of the future not the past

Chorus:
    C       G        Am              G
And we will try, To build a new and better life
F                C                    Dm7     G
Out of darkness we'll bring light for all mankind
    C          G    Am             G
Yes we will strive, Now until the end of time
F                C
For the sake of you and I
    Dm   G  C
And all mankind

Verse:
C                              Am
Sometimes I think of all the prizes we have won
       Dm                        G
But we are no richer now than before when we had none
C                       Am
I look around and I see ashes everywhere
         Dm7                           G
Yet the madness still goes on, Doesn't anybody care
  Am                              Dm
Though, on reflection, there are words that I still hear
          C               E               Am  Fm
Could it be that someone somewhere is sincere
C           Dm                G
No matter what the price may be
C          Dm           G
We must believe in sanity

Chorus:
    C       G        Am              G
And we will try, To build a new and better life
F                C                    Dm7     G
Out of darkness we'll bring light for all mankind
    C          G    Am             G
Yes we will strive, Now until the end of time
F                C
For the sake of you and I
    Dm   G  C
And all mankind
