C F Gsus4 G C

It was only yesterday when I heard the teacher say

Em F Dm7 G Em

Patiently, "One and two makes three" We were children, you and me

Am F Gsus4 G C G

Let us pray... for the ones they call the children of today

C Em F C

Nothing left but promises, nothing much is certain

G/F

Why thank you, Lord

C F Gsus4G

We're living in the glory of your care

E Am C/G D/F# G

Skies of blue have all turned brown to the sound of sighing

G/F C E7 Am C/G D/F#

Lord, abide; let us stem the tide of broken dreams

G/F C F Gsus4G C G

Sometimes you seem to tell us it's too late for praying

C Em F C

See the ocean wild and blue; think of all that's in her

G/F

But then she must.

C F Gsus4 G

They tell us, wise men tell us it's too late

E Am C/G D/F# G

For each child with eyes that smile, there'll be ten more cryin'

G/F C E7 Am C/G D/F#

Lord, abide; let us stem the tide of helplessness

G/F C F Gsus4G C

But then, I guess, we're livin'. Is it too late for tryin'?

C Em F C

Nothing here but grains of sand; nothin' much worth savin'

G/F

And still we share.

C F Gsus4G

Tomorrow could get better than today

E Am C/G D/F# G

To the ones who loved in vain, will you be beholden?

G/F C E7 Am C/G D/F#

Lord, abide; let us stem the tide of broken dreams
