F          C               G           Am
People are walking through the streets night and day
F                  C                      G       Am
Only now they are silent though there’s a lot to say
F            C               G           Am
The children feel that their Mother’s are scared
F              C                  G               Dm         Am
Will they grow up in a world where everything and nothing is shared

[Chorus]

Em G

C          G          Am
Where have you been - joy of life
F                  C          G    Am
This year has been hard on so many down here
C          G          Am
Where have you been - joy of life
F           C            G            Am
I know that my hope will conquer your fear

Am F C G Dm C G Am  x2

[Verse 2]
F           C       G            Am
I know that society is a tough game
F                   C                G        Am
but for the lack of affection we’re all to blame
F       C         G         Am
Crisis divide and crisis unite
F       C          G              Am
It’s up to you now what will you decide

[Chorus]

Em G

C          G          Am

Where have you been - joy of life

I know that my hope will conquer your fear

[Verse 3]
Em             F
And the birds they shout
C                  G
your so full of doubt
Em          F
Can we take this as chance
     C      G
like a rain dance
Em         F
The earth would tell
C                    G
between heaven and hell
Em           F
You can rise or fall
 C          G    Am
It’s your call

[Chorus]
C          G          Am
Where have you been - joy of life

I know that my hope will conquer your fear
