A Prayer For Every Year

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


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


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


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