	  		Intro: 
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 
C      /b     Am       /g      D/F# 
All we see is want and need across the board. 
    G/F 
Why thank you, Lord 
      C             F             Gsus4 G 
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 Gsus4 G       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 
C        /b     Am    /g      D/F# 
She will not surrender to the likes of us 
    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 Gsus4 G    C 
But then, I guess, we're livin'. Is it too late    for tryin'? 
 
Am F Gsus4 G C, Em F Gsus4 G 
 
C                Em              F                  C 
Nothing here but grains of sand; nothin' much worth savin' 
C           /b      Am       /g     D/F# 
Guess we've all got problems of our own to bear 
    G/F 
And still we share. 
C                  F             Gsus4 G 
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 
   G/F                C                F Gsus4 G  C       G 
Sometimes you seem to tell us it's too late for   prayin' 
Em F Gsus4 G C, Em F Dm7 G, Em Am F Gsus4 G C.
