I Hear Them All

G                 C                            G
I hear the crying of the hungry in the deserts where they're wandering
                 D                                C         G
HEAR THEM crying out for heaven's own benevolence upon them
                 C
Hear destructive power prevailing, I hear fools falsely hailing
               G               D              Em  C
To the crooked WITS of tyrants when they call
                 G                D              G
I hear them all, I hear them all, I hear them all


[Verse 2]
G                 C                             G
I hear the sounds of tearing pages and the roar of burning paper
               D                                   C         G
All the crimes and acquisition turn to air and ash and vapor
               C
And the rattle of the shackle far beyond emancipators
             G          D              Em  C
And lowliest who gather in their stalls
                 G                D              G
I hear them all, I hear them all, I hear them all


[Verse 3]
G                C                                 G
So while you sit and whistle dixie with your money and your power
           D                                   C            G
I can hear the flowers a growing in the rubble of the towers
               C
I hear leaders quit their lying, I hear babys quit their crying
                G                D           Em C
I hear soldiers quit their dying one and all
                 G                D              G
I hear them all, I hear them all, I hear them all


[Verse 4]
G             C                                  G
I hear the tender words from Zion, I hear Noah's waterfall
            D                                     C        G
Hear the gentle lamb of Juda sleeping at the feet of Buddah
            C
And the prophets from Elijah to the old Paiute Wovoka
                  G                 D              Em  C
Take their places at the table when they're called
                 G                D              G    C
I hear them all, I hear them all, I hear them all
                 G                D              G
I hear them all, I hear them all, I hear them all
