So caught up in (Fmaj7)side our selves,
we take when we should (C7sus)give.
So for to (F)night,
we (Bb6)pray
for
what we know can (Bb)be.
And (C)on this (F)day
we (Bb6)hope
for
what we still can’t (Bb)see.
(F)It’s (Bb)up (C)to (Dm)us
to (C)be the (Bb)change,
and (F)e ven though we all can still do (Bbm6)more,
there’s so much to be (Bbmaj7)thank
(C7)ful
(Bb)for.
(F)Look

It’s (F)way
(Fmaj7)too
(Bb)late (C)to (Bb)say, “I’ll (F)cry
(Fmaj7)to sur (Bbmaj7)mor
(C7)row.”
Each of us must (Fmaj7)find our truth,
we so long o ver (C7sus)due.
So for to (F)night,
we (Bb6)pray
for
what we know can (Bb)be.
And (C)ev ’ry (F)day
we (Bb6)hope
for
what we still can’t (Bb)see.
(F)It’s (Bb)up (C)to (Dm)us
to (C)be the (Bb)change,
and (F)e ven though we all can still do (Bbm6)more,
there’s so much to be (Bbmaj7)thank
(C7)ful
(Bb)for.
