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

From what the good book   says, "The truth will   never find us"

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
