I wondered why I had    the blues,     so I turned on the evening  news 
                             A                                                         D 
Children runnin' from their    school, because of some damn fool had no morals he must   prove 

                 D              D7                       G 
Another kid laid   in the blood,   another town drowned     in the flood 
                       A                                                                         D 
Just a tragic trail of    tears, lessons not learned through the years, heaven save us from our     fears

Hope is just    ahead, sorrows just behind us 
                         A                      D 
From what the good book   says, "The truth will   never find us" 
          D/E          D/F#           G                              G/A         Bm 
Who's to      say what       we shall    find, I guess the proof for     sure in     time 
                                A                             D

        A                        A  D                   D 
          Get down on your knees      you gotta believe  

                   D              D7                        G 
People fightin' in    the streets,    millions with no food    to eat 
                             A                                                             D 
How much longer can we last,    if we learn nothing from our past, these are the questions    that I ask
