D#m
More informatiomn has come to light about 3 year old
Syrian boy Alan Kurdi whose body was found recently washed
up on a beach in Turkey. Refugee advocates now say his
families ultimate goal was to reach asylum in Canada.
VERSE:
D#m C# G#
He was carried from the water by a soldier
D#m C# G#
And the picture screams a thousand different words
D#m C# G#
He was running from the terror with his father
D#m C# G#
Who once believed that nothing could be worse
D#m C# G#
So he’d handed a man two thousand precious dollars
D#m C# G#
The way you’d rest a bird in a lion’s open jaw
D#m C# G#
And he told the boys that Canada was waiting
B C#
That there was hope upon her golden shores
B C#
But at night he said a quiet prayer into the wind
CHORUS:
B F# C# D#m
Oh Canada, if you can hear me now
F# B F# C#
Won’t you open up your arms towards the sea?
F# B F# C# D#m
Oh Canada, if you can help me out
F# B F# C# B F# F# C# D#m B F# C#
All I ever wanted was a safe place for my fam-i-ly
VERSE:
D#m C# G#
Well the days were long but the nights were even longer
D#m C# G#
And the baby boys never left their mothers’ side
D#m C# G#
But the boat was small and the waves were getting stronger
