Chords for Innovators - Requiem - Prayer of the Children (lyrics)

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Can you _ _ hear _ the _ prayer of the children?
_ _ _ _ [D] Abandoned me _ in the shadow of an unknown _
_ _ _ _ _ [F] _ [G] Empty _ eyes _ with no [Em] more tears [G] to cry
Turning [C] heaven _ _ _ toward the [G] hell _
_ _ _ Crying Jesus [D] help me [G] to see the [Em] morning light
[C] Of one more day
_ But if I should die before I [Em] wake _ _
[G] _ My soul [D] today _ _
_ [Bb] _ _ [G] Can you feel _ _ the hearts of the children? _
_ _ [Bm] _ Aching [C] for home _
For something of their [D] very own
_ _ Reaching _ _ hands with nothing [Em] to hold on [G] to
But hope [C] for a better day _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ Crying Jesus help [D] me to feel the love again
In my own _ _ _
But if unknown roads lead away from home
_ _ Give me loving arms
_ _ _ _ Away from home
_ _ _ _ [E] _ _ [Em] _
_ _ Wala _ _ [D] _ _
[Bm] _ _ _ _ la [C] la _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ _ [Em] _
_ _ [F] la
_ [C] The _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Ebm] _ _ _ [G] _ voice _ _ _ _ _ of the children
_ _ _ _ _ Softly [Em]
pleading
_ [E] For silence in the shattered [D] _
world
_ _ [G] Angry _ _ _ guns, preach a gospel full of [G] hate, blood of [C] evil's _ on _ _ [G] their _ hands.
_ Crying Jesus, _ [Bm] help me to feel the [C] sun again upon my face.
_ _ [Am] For when darkness [G] clears, I [D] know [Cm] you're near, _ _ [G] bringing peace _ [D] again. _
