The Prayer Of The Children chords by Kurt Bestor

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

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


Chorus 1:
 G              C G D
Crying, "Jesus, help me
  G            C
To see the morning light of one more day;
    Am               G
But if I should die before I wake
   D                D7
I pray my soul to take."

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


Chorus 2:
G               C G  D
Crying, "Jesus, help me
   G         C
To feel the love again in my own land;
       Am                  G
But if unknown roads lead away from home
         D                      D7
Give me loving arms, away from harm."


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


Chorus 3:
 G              C G  D
Crying, "Jesus, help me
    G        C
To feel the sun again upon my face;
          Am                G
For when darkness clears I know you're near
   D              D7
Bringing peace again."

Outro:
  G                      C    G
Dali cujete sve djecje molitive?
         D         C             D  G
Can you hear the prayer of the children?
