VERSE 1
D                  A    G
Met a little girl, yesterday
D             A                   F#m
She?s so poor, doesn?t even have a name
G                     D
But mom and dad, they love her
G                     F#m
Just can?t her or her brother
D                A               G
Hunger like that, you can?t even pray

VERSE 2
Young black man on the streets of Chicago
Mom and Dad are wishing he?d come home
And he could always see their faces,
and he could like an angel,
Two shots ran out so, we?ll never know

CHORUS
D
I?m singing for hope
G
I?m singing for life
D               A       G
I?m singing for change, tonight
D 
And you can tell me, that
G
I?m wasting my time
D                  A         D
But someone has to keep hope alive

VERSE 3
Little boy, living on the prairie
Hears a story of when the West was free
And he?s too young to think it, but with one less broken promise,
He thinks ? will the world even miss me?

CHORUS
BRIDGE
A
And what can I do,
F#m
From my lucky side?
G            A            D
I can barely write down a song,

A               F#m
But I can take, just one stride,
G                                A 
Put their hands in mine and hold on

CHORUS
Repeatx3, end
