_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ How many [Am] _ _ mountains [G] _
must you _ [C] face _
_ [Am] _ before _ [G] you learn to [C] _
climb? _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ I'm gonna [Am] give you _ [G] _
what it [C] takes, _ _ [F] my _ _ _
[G] universal _ _ [C] _
child. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ I'm gonna [Am] try _ to [G]
find a [C] way _ [Am] to _ keep [G] you safe from [C] _ _
harm. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ I'm gonna [Am] build _ [G] a special _ _ [C] place, _ a [F] _ shelter _
[G] from the [C] storm.
_ _ _ _ And I [F] can _ see _
[C] _ you _ [F] _ _
_ everywhere, [C] _ _ _
[F] your portrait _ _
[Dm] _ fills [Am] the sky. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [C] _ I'm gonna wrap _ [F] my arms around [C] you, _ [F] my _ _ _ _ [G] universal _ _ [C] child.
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ And when I [Am] _ look _ [G] into _ your [C] _ eyes, _ [Am] so _ _ _
[G] innocent and _ [C] pure,
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ I see the [Am] _ shadows _ [G] _
of the _ [C] _ things that [F] _ you've [G] had to _ [C] endure. _
_ _ [F] I _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ see the [Am] dry, _ _ [G] _
buried _ _ [C] tears _ [Am] that run right [G] down your _ [C] _ _
face. _ _ _ _
_ _ I see [Am] the hurt, _ [G] I see the _ [C] _ pain, I [F] see the [G] _ human _ [C] _ _
race.
_ And I can [F] _ _ _ feel [C] _ you _ [F] _ _
_ everywhere, [C] _ _ _
_ [F] _ shining _ _
[Dm] _ _ _ [Am] like the _ sun. _ _ _ _
_ _ [C] I wish to God _ [F] that kids _ like [C] you _ _ [F] could be _ [G] like _ everyone.
[C] _ _
_ _ How _ _ _ _ _ _ many _ tunnels _ [F] must _ it [C] take _
_ [Am] before _ you [G] learn to [C] fly?
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ I'm gonna [Am] help you _ [F] spread [C] your _ wings, _ my _ _ _ _
[G] universal _ _ [C] child.
_ _ _ [F] _ _ _
_ [C] _ I'm gonna [Am] help you _ [G] _
find a _ [C] way _ [Am] to keep you _
[G] _ safe from [C] _ _
harm. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ We're gonna [Am] build _ [G] a special _ _ [C] _ place, [F] a _ shelter _
[G] from the [C] storm.
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ [F] _ _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ [F] With every _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ [F] _ child in _
[Dm] _ _ _ _ [Am] our _ _ arms. _ _
_ [C] _ I wish to God _ [F] that kids like [C] you _ _ [F] could be _ [G] like everyone.
_ [C] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ And I wish to God _ [F] that kids like _ [C] _ you [F] could be _ [G] like _ _ _ _ _
[C] everyone. _ _ _ _
