        C (x32010@1)           GIs (320003@1)it wrong or is it right?
      Dm (xx0231@1)            AmEveryday (x02210@1)the endless fight.

Look to the sky, up for the stars that show.
Feel in the doves a magic surprise.
Bright the wind dyes the raise.
Pray for peace, in a world of change.

How many days can it last until it's over?
How many miles of hope can you cry for a new mirage?

Chorus (bis)
