       Just when we thought the time was right for celebrating

  A sea of children's tears

  Once more the sound of crying

  Is number one across the earth

C5          D5
  You could consider this a prayer

G5  F5
       Well who am I to tell you how to run your business
D/9
  Man, you could strike me blind
F5
  What kind of noise we gotta make down here before we
D/9
  Destroy your peace of mind
