[Intro]
G D C G C G D
G D C G C G D G
[Verse 1]
G D C G
When it seems that everyone is worried for themselves
C G D
Buying plans for fallout shelters, stocking up the shelves
G D C G
Living in the fast lane, and staying high at night
C G D G
Thinking that by accident we'll blow out all the lights
[Verse 2]
G D C G
Look, now, at the potter whose wheel is spinning 'round
C G D
Shaping with her hands the past and future from the ground
G D C G
Cups that will be filled and drunk, so warm in wintertime
C G D G
Plates and bowls for dinner served with candlelight and wine
[Chorus]
G D
She believes, she believes
Em C D
By her work it's so easy to see
Em C G C
That the future is more than the following day
G D G
It's fashioned securely in the clay
[Verse 3]
G D C G
Look now at the farmer working in his field
C G D
Hoping that the sun and rain will guarantee his yield
G D C G
Like a seed, the wind has blown to unfamiliar ground
C G D G
He waits to see what fate will bring as each year rolls around
[Chorus]
G D
He believes, he believes
Em C D
By his work it's so easy to see
Em C G C
That the future is more than the following day
G D G
It's fashioned securely in the clay
[Verse 4]
G D C G
Elsewhere, there are lovers in a warm embrace
C G D
Happy with their plans to carry on the human race
G D C G
Now the baby cries and wonders if it's all alone
C G D G
Softly voices reassure there'll always be a home
