[D]
Like the ancient Roman Empire, [A] this [E] world is [D] doomed to fall
And it's much too big a thing for mortal man
[G] Just take a look around and [D] see the writing [Bm] on the wall
Somehow [D] we've [A] got to find [D] a helping hand
[Dm] This [D] world has never [G] been in the awful shape [D] it's [F] in
[D] And people scorn [A] the things [D] our leaders do
This time a prayer was spoken from [G] the heart of [Dm] every man
[D] Jesus, take [A] a hold and lead [D] us through
[G] [D]
Mighty roar, gunfire [A] is now a local [D] sound
And our city streets are filled with angry men
[G] Laws now mock grief [D] throughout our [Bm] troubled land
And [D] destruction [F#m] seems to [Em] be the [D] current trend
This world has never been [G] in the awful [Dm] shape it's [D] in
And our leaders seem [A] in doubt what [D] to do
This time a prayer was spoken [G] from the heart of [D] every man
