D

[Verse]
                                         G        C        D
I have listened to the prophets and I've listened to their news
                                            G         C        D
And I've seen their marble statues and I've heard the faithful sing
            G       C            D
But do they live by what they're singing
           G        C     A
Would they turn the other cheek

[Chorus]
     D
Lead on, I'll follow
     G        C    D
I'll find you if I can
D
Lead on, I'll follow
     G        C    D
I'll find you if I can

[Verse]
                                      G      C          D
In the churches, god is holy, and the people hide their hate
                                         G        C       D
But on the roadside, he's forgotten, and god will have to wait
    G        C      D
And how long can he suffer
    G        C       A
And how long must he wait

[Chorus]
     D
Lead on, I'll follow
     G        C    D
I'll find you if I can
D
Lead on, I'll follow
     G        C    D
I'll find you if I can

[Verse]
                                        G           C        D
And they're fighting one another with a prayer book in their hand
                                        G     C    D
But with a weapon in the other, they'll never understand
    G         C            D
And each side claim you as their god
         G         C       A
But they take your name in vain

[Chorus]
     D
Lead on, I'll follow
     G        C    D
I'll find you if I can
D
Lead on, I'll follow
     G        C    D
I'll find you if I can

[Verse]
                                      G      C    D
Stop and listen to the children, they cannot understand
                                     G        C      D
They are puzzled by the fire and the marching of the band
        G      C    D
They've longer to remember
   G         C      A
So they will suffer most

[Chorus]
     D
Lead on, I'll follow
     G        C    D
I'll find you if I can
D
Lead on, I'll follow
     G        C    D
I'll find you if I can
