A PRAYER FOR EVERY YEAR

VERSE:
B     F#/A#    G#m      
Do you remember me
   G#m  F#                E
Long ago on bended knee
  E            B/D#        C#m             F#       
I prayed to You with childhood fantasies
        B        F#/A#        G#m
Well I’m all grown up now
    G#m    F#             E
Can you still help somehow?
    E  B/D#        C#m                      F#
I’m not a child, but my heart still can dream
   B             F#/A#            G#m
Please here my prayer tonight
   G#m       F#           E
And help me do what’s right
    E  B/D#       C#m                    F#
Not for myself, but for a world in need


Chorus:
G#         Fm       C#
No more lives torn apart
     C#/A#        D#       Cm
That wars would never start
    Fm         D#        C#       D#       
And time would heal all hearts
G#     Fm                C#
Every man would have a friend
        C#/A#             D#       Cm
And right would always win
        Fm              D#        
And love would never end
Cm  Fm A#m              D#      G# – G#sus - G# 
This is my prayer for every year


VERSE:
B     F#/A#    G#m      
May kindness rule our lives
   G#m  F#                E
Not just the strong survive
  E            B/D#        C#m              F#       
Sweet tears for all, a thousand years gone by
        B        F#/A#        G#m
This is the world I pray
    G#m    F#             E
We will share someday
    E  B/D#        C#m                    F#
Let me begin by reaching out my hand


Bridge:
G#                                          C#       
What is this illusion called the innocence of youth?
        Fm               A#
Maybe only in their blind belief
          D#                 A#  
Will we ever find the truth...
