Intro: D A F#m G
D
It's been a long time coming that I had to say
A
When I wake up in the morning all I do is pray
F#m
For some guidance and protection on the streets today
G
And an answer to the questions I ask everyday
D
So tell me why do the birds that used to fly here
A
Tell me why do they come to die here?
F#m
And all the kids that used to run here
G
Tell me why do they load their guns here?
D
I remember in the days when

We were one heart, no need to defend

I just wrap my arms around you

Don't give up, this song is for you

I hold on, hold on, hold on
D
From the tops of the buildings to the streets below
A
Between the Wall Street banks and the empty homes
F#m
Between the lines of the people standing all in a row
G
There's a crack in the gutter where a flower grows
D
Reminding me that everything is possible
A
Yeah, reminding me that nothing is impossible

You gotta live for the one that you love you know

You gotta love for the life that you live you know

Until the morning comes again

I will remain with you my friend
A
And we will ride until the sun
A
Goes to the place where it begun
A
And we will live to laugh and cry another day

Don't let nobody ever tell you that it couldn't be done

Don't let nobody ever tell you that we couldn't be one
