Am F C G C
Though the earth may tremble, and our foundations crack
Am F C G
We will all assemble and we will build them back
Am F
And rush to save the lives remaining
C E Am
Still within our reach
C F/C F C
Try to put our world together, standing in the breach.
C F C
So many live in poverty, while others live as kings
C F D
I will never understand however they've prepared
C F/C C G
How one life may be struck down and another life be spared
Am F C G C
Though the earth may tremble, and cast our works aside
Am F C G
Though our efforts resemble, the fluctuating tide
Am F
We rise and fall with the trust and belief
C E Am
That love redeems us each
C F/C F C
And bend our backs and hearts together, standing in the breach.
Am F
You don't know why it's such a far cry
C G C
From the world this world could be
Am F
You don't know why but you still try
C G
For the world you wish to see
Am F
You don't know how, it'll happen now
E Am
After all that's come undone
F Em
But you know the change the world needs now
Dm G
Is there, in everyone
C
The unpaid debts of history
F C
The open wounds of time
C Am F Fm6
The laws of human nature always tugging from behind
C
I want to think that the earth can heal
F D
And that people might still learn
C F/C
How to meet this world's true challenges
C G
And that the course we're on could turn
Am F C G C
And though the earth may tremble and the oceans pitch and rise
Am F C G
We will all assemble and we will lift our eyes
Am F
To the tasks that we know lie before us
C E Am
And the power our prayers beseech
C F/C F C
And cast our souls into the heavens, standing in the breach
Am F
You don't know why it's such a far cry
C G C
From the world, this world could be
Am F
You don't know why, but you still try
C G
For the world you wish to see
Am F
You don't know how (it) it'll happen now
F E Am
After all that's come undone
F C Fm6
And you know the world you're waiting for, may not come
