Lyrics

What you got if you (Absus2)ain’t got love?

The kind that you just want to give a way.

It’s O K to (Absus2)o pen up, go a (Eb)head and let the light shine (Bb)through.

I know it’s hard on a (Absus2)rain y day, you want to (Eb)shut the world out and just be (Eb)left a lone.

But don’t run out (Bb)on your faith.

’Cause some (Ab)times that moun tain you’ve been climb in’ is just a grain of sand.

And what (Ab)you’ve been out there search in’ for for ev er is in your hands.

And when you’ve (Ab)fig ured out love is all that mat ters af ter all, it sure makes (Ab)ev ’ry thing (Bb)else

seem so (Cm7)small.

It’s so (Cm7)eas y to get lost in side a (Eb)prob lem that seems so big at the time.

It’s like a riv er that’s (Ab)so wide it (Eb)swal lows you (Bb)whole.

While you’re (Cm)sit tin’ ’round think in’ ’bout (Ab)what you can’t change and wor ry’n’ a bout all the wrong things, time’s fly in’ by, (Bb)mov in’ so fast, you (Cm)bet ter make it count ’cause you (Bb)can’t get it back.

Some small,

yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Some (Ab)times that moun tain you’ve been climb in’ is just a grain of

sand.

And what (Ab)you’ve been out there search in’ for for ev er is in

your (Ab)hands.

Whoa,

and when you (Ab)fig ure out love is all that mat ters af ter all, it sure makes (Ab)ev ’ry thing else,

whoa, it sure makes (Ab)ev ’ry thing else

seem so small,

yeah, (Absus2)yeah.
