Chords with lyrics

Tuning: Standard (E MajorE A augmentedA D MajorD G+G BB E MajorE)

Verse 1:
G+G                C majorC G+G D MajorD
Can you hear the prayer of the children
  G+G    C majorC      G+G      C majorC    D MajorD
On bended knee, in the shadow of an unknown room?
 G+G            C majorC    D MajorD
Empty eyes, with no more tears to cry
 G+G    C majorC      D MajorD      G+G
Turning heavenward, toward the light


Chorus 1:
 G+G       C majorC G+G D MajorD
Crying, "Jesus, help me
 G+G      C majorC
To see the morning light of one more day;
  A minorAm        G+G
But if I should die before I wake
  D MajorD        D7D7
I pray my soul to take."

Verse 2:
 G+G              C majorC G+G D MajorD
Can you feel the heart of the children
 G+G     C majorC    G+G         C majorC   D MajorD
Aching for home, for something of their very own?
 G+G               C majorC   G+G D MajorD
Reaching hands, with nothing to hold on to
   G+G     C majorC       D MajorD   G+G
But hope for a better day, a better day


Chorus 2:
G+G        C majorC G+G D MajorD
Crying, "Jesus, help me
  G+G     C majorC
To feel the love again in my own land;
    A minorAm         G+G
But if unknown roads lead away from home
     D MajorD           D7D7
Give me loving arms, away from harm."


Verse 3:
 G+G               C majorC G+G D MajorD
Can you hear the voice of the children
 G+G     C majorC     G+G      C majorC     D MajorD
Softly pleading for silence in a shattered world?
 G+G             C majorC  G+G D MajorD
Angry guns preach a gospel full of hate
 G+G       C majorC     D MajorD   G+G
Blood of the innocent on their hands


Chorus 3:
 G+G       C majorC G+G D MajorD
Crying, "Jesus, help me
  G+G    C majorC
To feel the sun again upon my face;
     A minorAm        G+G
For when darkness clears I know you're near
  D MajorD       D7D7
Bringing peace again."

Dali cujete sve djecje molitive?

Can you hear the prayer of the children?
