Intro:
DmDm C majorC DmDm G+G DmDm
Verse:
DmDm C majorC DmDm
Lord it‘s wrong to prey on the needy
DmDm G+G DmDm
How I hope that I am never on
DmDm C majorC DmDm
That loses touch with the souls that surround me
DmDm
I got my feet in the dirt
DmDm G+G DmDm
I get my heat from the sun
DmDm C majorC DmDm
And I know there‘s a heartless among us
DmDm G+G DmDm
How it pains me to hear of the despair
DmDm C majorC DmDm
Men in high places gonna talk of peace through violence
DmDm
Fuelling enemies with weapons
DmDm G+G DmDm
As they strip each other bare
Chorus:
G+G DmDm
And I hope that peace will find us
G+G A augmentedA
Even if I'm the only one
DmDm C majorC DmDm
And I try, I try, to look towards the sky
DmDm G+G DmDm
But I fear that today, all my hope it is gone
Instrumental:
DmDm C majorC DmDm G+G DmDm
Verse:
DmDm C majorC DmDm
Tell me Jesus where can I find the answers
DmDm G+G DmDm
Up on the hillsides or in the valleys below?
DmDm C majorC DmDm
None of our leaders take heed of the warnings
DmDm G+G DmDm
Together we gonna gather and rise up as one
Chorus:
G+G DmDm
Life is more sacred than the dollar
G+G A augmentedA
Fighting for freedom we‘ll pay a cost
DmDm C majorC DmDm
Oh and I try, I try to look towards the sky
DmDm G+G DmDm
But I fear that today all my hope it is gone
