Verse 1
 
    Bm                                          F#m 
The world just took another spin in the wrong direction 
              Em               G 
Hate found a handgun, and now nobody feels safe 
        Bm                                              F#m 
I gotta turn off the news so my kids don’t see another tragedy 
                     Em           G 
I wanna let em stay innocent, at least for one more day 
 
                   Bm                               F#m 
Cause just when I think it can’t get worse, it gets worse 
                          Em 
And there are no words to say 
                          G 
How much more can our hearts take? 
 
Chorus
 
         D                          F#m 
In this shattered place, where the shadows cover 
          Bm                      G 
Where we speak of love, while we hurt each other 
          D                        F#m 
My heart aches for home, right now more than ever 
         Bm                 G 
But I’m holding on, to the hope of heaven 
         Bm               A              G 
And the promise that the day is drawing near 
                          Bm     F#m 
You will wipe away every tear 
                          Em     G 
You will wipe away every tear 
 
Verse 2
 
              Bm                            F#m 
There will be no more terror, no more riots in the street 
            Em                       G 
And we will all be seen, beyond the color of our skin 
 
          Bm                            F#m 
No more fighting, no more war, no more hunger left ignored 
          Em                     
No more sickness, no more pain 
               G 
We’re here for now but we won’t stay 
 
Chorus
 
         D                          F#m 
In this shattered place, where the shadows cover 
          Bm                      G 
Where we speak of love, while we hurt each other 
          D                        F#m 
My heart aches for home, right now more than ever 
         Bm                 G 
But I’m holding on, to the hope of heaven 
         Bm                      A       G 
And the promise that the day is drawing near 
                          D        A 
You will wipe away every tear 
                          Bm       G 
You will wipe away every tear   Ooooh

We need you now

And the promise that the day is drawing near 
                 Bm                  A            G 
When your great light will make the darkness disappear 
                                D           A 
And you will wipe away every tear,  every tear 
                          Bm       G 
You will wipe away every tear
