First verse:
       F           Fmaj7
Every life, every beating heart
        Bb
Has a searching soul inside
       Fsus
Ever needing, ever seeking out
      Gm
The meaning to life

    F         Fmaj7                  Bb
I refuse to believe that we're only here to live and die
        Fsus               Gm
In the futile days of a faithless haze
 Dm           G             C
Never asking why, why would I
           Dm       G         C
When I've felt the hand of eternity
         Dm   G       Bb
It's a legacy I will leave, I want to leave

                          F
For the children of the world
                    Bb
Every single little boy and girl
                         C
Heaven plants a special seed
                   Dm        Bb
And we must have faith for these


Second verse:
         F           Fmaj7
I will stand for the truth I've seen
         Bb
So the truth is seen in me
        Fsus           Gm
I will give from the source of love
   Dm            G               C
So all that I believe is handed down
         Dm          G            C
For the road that's yet to be travelled on
        Dm       G         Bb
By the ones who will carry on, I'll carry on


Chorus:
                          F
For the children of the world
                    Bb
Every single little boy and girl
                         C
Heaven plants a special seed
                   F
And we must have faith for these
                            F
Red and yellow, black and white
                           Bb
They are precious in the Father's eyes
                        C
Like the Father may we see
                   Dm      Bb
That they have a destiny, yeah
                   Gm       Bb      C
And give them the light of love to lead
 Dm      G             C
Through the darkness around us now
 Dm    G          Bb
To a place where hope is found


Repeat Chorus:
