For Future Generations â?? 4Him


Intro:

C  Dm  G  C


Verse 1:

F              C/E               G    C
The signs are obvious; they are everywhere
F           C/E                 C        D/F#
All that we hear about is the gloom and despair
     F              C/E                     G/B       C
Too many would be prophets sayinâ?? itâ??s the end of it all
         F                 G                 Am             G
â??Cause mother earth canâ??t take much more; the hammerâ??s gonna fall


Verse 2:

F         C/E                       G      C
So nature has its needs, thatâ??s a lesson learned
F        C/E                     C        D
But it appears to me there are greater concerns
        F               C/E                      G/B      C
â??Cause we can save the planet, thinkinâ?? we will somehow survive
      Am             G            Am              G
But father time is calling us to save somebodyâ??s life


Chorus 1:

            C
So I wonâ??t bend and I wonâ??t break
         Am
I wonâ??t water down my faith
          F              G             C    G
I wonâ??t compromise in a world of desperation
          C
What has been I cannot change
          Dm7
But for tomorrow and today
       G                         C      Am   G
I must be a light for future generations


Verse 3:

F           C/E              G          C
If we could find a way to preserve our faith
F             C/E               C              D
So those who follow us see the price that was paid
       F               C/E                    G/B       C
Then maybe when they question what itâ??s gonna take to survive
         Am                   G           Am             G
Theyâ??ll find the strength to carry on in what we leave behind


[Repeat Chorus 1]


Bridge:

F
Lookinâ?? in the eyes of the children
C/E
Knowing that tomorrow is at stake
Am
When the choice is up to them
                     G/B
Will they have the strength to say


Chorus 2:  (key change up a half step)

          C#
We wonâ??t bend and we wonâ??t break
          A#m
We wonâ??t water down our faith
           F#             G#           C#    G#
We wonâ??t compromise in a world of desperation
          C#
What has been we cannot change
          D#m7
But for tomorrow and today
        G#              C#
We must be a light for future generations


[Repeat Chorus 2]
