_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ [Am] _ Though the earth may [F] _ tremble,
[C] Though our [G]
foundations [C] crack,
_ _ [A] We will all [F] assemble,
_ _ _ [G] We will build them back,
_ [Am] And rush to save the [F] lives remaining
[C] Still [E] within [Am] our reach.
_ _ _ [G] Try to put our world together,
[F] _ Standing in the [C] breach.
_ _ _ So many years,
_ _ _ [F] While others have [C] came,
_ _ _ _ With so many [Am] findings,
And the acceptance of [Dm] [E] all the living [G] beings.
[Fm] _ _ _ [C] I will never _ understand,
[F] How heaven and earth [F#] decay,
_ _ _ [C] How one life may be struck [F] down,
_ [C] And another life be [D] spared.
_ _ _ [Am] Though the earth may [F] tremble,
_ [C] And cast [G] our works [C] aside,
_ _ [Am] _ Though our options [F] dissemble,
_ _ [C] The fluctuating [G] tide,
_ _ [Am] We rise and fall,
[F] With the trust we need,
[C] That [E] love redeems [Am] our seed.
_ [C] _ Bend our backs and [G] hearts to go,
[F] _ _
Stopping the [C] bleeding.
_ _ [Am] _ You don't know [F] what,
What the fire will cry,
[C] And what [G] this new earth [C] can keep.
_ [Am] _ You don't know [F] what,
What this spirit's eye,
[C] Will really [G] wish to see.
_ _ [Am] _ You don't know [F] how,
It'll happen now,
[E] So all that's come [Am] and gone,
But [Fm] you know the shame,
[C] The world needs [Em] now,
[D] Is there,
_ [G] In every [C] wound. _ _
_ _ _ [Fm] _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ [C] _

_ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
[Am] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ [Am] _
_ [Em] _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ [C] Their debts and history, _ _
[F] The open wounds of time, _ _ _
The laws [Am] of human nature, _
[Dm] Always tugging from [F] behind. _ _
_ [C] I want to think,
That the earth can heal,
[F] That people might still [F#] learn, _
[C] That underneath this world,
We should [F] jump, _
And take [C] the course,
Of all that [G] could come. _
_ [Am] The earth [F] they came, _ _
[C] And the oceans [G] they turned,
[C] But, _
_ [Am] _ Through the [F] locks, _ _
_ [G] _ We will lift our eyes, _
[Am] To the tasks that [F] we know,
Lie before us,
[C] And the [E] power of [Am] prayers,
Must be seen,
_ [C] _ Cast our [F] souls into the heavens,
_ Struck in the [C] moon. _ _
_ [Am] You don't know [F] what,
What's so far [G] across,
The will of this [C] world to be. _ _
_ [Am] You don't know what,
[F] What you're still trying,
[C] But will [G] really wish to see. _ _
_ [Am] You don't know how,
[F] It'll happen now,
[E] For all that's come [Am] and gone,
And [Fm] you know,
The [C] world you're waiting for,
May [D] not come,
_ [G] No it may not come,
[Fm] But you know the change,
[C] The world needs now,
Is [D] _ there,
_ [G] In every move.
