- IntroC F Gsus4 G C
It was only yesterday when I heard the teacher say
- Em F Dm7 G Em
Patiently, "One and two makes three" We were children, you and me
Am F Gsus4 G C G Let us pray... for the ones they call the children of today
C Em F CNothing left but promises, nothing much is certain
C /B Am /G D/F#All we see is want and need across the board.
- G/F
Why thank you, Lord
C F Gsus4 G We're living in the glory of your care
E Am C/G D/F# GSkies of blue have all turned brown to the sound of sighing
- G/F C E7 Am C/G D/F#
Lord, abide; let us stem the tide of broken dreams
G/F C F Gsus4 G C G Sometimes you seem to tell us it's too late for praying
C Em F CSee the ocean wild and blue; think of all that's in her
C /B Am /G D/F#She will not surrender to the likes of us
- G/F
But then she must.
C F Gsus4 G They tell us, wise men tell us it's too late
E Am C/G D/F# GFor each child with eyes that smile, there'll be ten more cryin'
- G/F C E7 Am C/G D/F#
Lord, abide; let us stem the tide of helplessness
G/F C F Gsus4 G C But then, I guess, we're livin'. Is it too late for tryin'?
Am F Gsus4 G C, Em F Gsus4 G
C Em F CNothing here but grains of sand; nothin' much worth savin'
- C /B Am /G D/F#
Guess we've all got problems of our own to bear
G/F And still we share.
C F Gsus4 GTomorrow could get better than today
- E Am C/G D/F# G
To the ones who loved in vain, will you be beholden?
G/F C E7 Am C/G D/F# Lord, abide; let us stem the tide of broken dreams
G/F C F Gsus4 G C GSometimes you seem to tell us it's too late for prayin'
Em F Gsus4 G C, Em F Dm7 G, Em Am F Gsus4 G C.
