[Verse 1]
G C
We are living in dangerous times
G C
And all God's children have learned how to fight
G C
Shedding their young blood, shedding their tears
G C
They can’t go on living their lives in fear
[Instrumental]
G C G C
[Verse 2]
G C
They’ve watched their empires rise and fall
G C
Ghostly reflections through crumbled walls
G C
So many innocents tried to stand tall
G C
Only to be knocked down, battered and scarred
[Chorus]
D C D C
Someone will conquer, and someone will die
D C D
Some of them will just turn their heads and turn away
G C G C
And turn away, in these dangerous times
[Verse 3]
G C
A bustle in the kitchen to get supper on
G C
The radio is playing some familiar song
G C
There’s a lover’s quarrel, with the TV on
G C
They’re all unaware of injustice and wrong
[Chorus]
D C D C
Someone will conquer, and someone will die
D C D
Some of them will just turn their heads and turn away, oh...
[Bridge]
Am C G D
Don’t you think it’s time to tell a nation this can’t be right?
Am C G C G C G C
Or did someone kill the white dove in the name of justice, or sacrifice?
[Verse 4]
G C
All stands quiet in Tienanman Square today
G C
No sign of trouble, no flowers on the graves
G C
No raging voices, no sign of changing
G C
No sign of anything, but their blood-stained message remains
[Verse 5]
G C
We are living in dangerous times
G C
And all God's children have learned how to fight
G C
Shedding their young blood, shedding their tears
G C
They can’t go on living their lives in fear
[Verse 6]
G C
We are living in dangerous times
G C
And all God's children have learned how to fight
G C
Shedding their young blood, shedding their tears
G C
They can’t go on living their lives in fear
