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

Where we speak of love, while we hurt each other

My heart aches for home, right now more than ever

But I’m holding on, to the hope of heaven

And the promise that the day is drawing near
