| It's not easy | trying to understand |
| A | B | |
| How the world can be so cold, | stealing the souls of |
| man | C#m | B | |
| Cloudy skies rain down | on all your dreams |
| A | |
| You wrestle with the fear and doubt |
| F#7 | |
| Sometimes it's hard but you gotta believe |
| (chorus) |
| E | B/D# | |
| There's a better place, | where our Father waits |
| C#m | A | B | |
| And every tear he'll | wipe a | way |
| E | B/D# | |
| The darkness will be gone, | the weak shall be strong |
| C#m | A | B | |
| Hold on | to your | faith |
| C#m | B | |
| There will | come a day |
| A | B | |
| There will | come a day |
| (verse 2 - same chords as verse 1) |
| Wars a raging, lives a scattered |
| Inocence is lost and hopes are shattered |
| Old are forgotten, the young are forsaken |
| In this world we're livin' in |
| Is there anything sacred |
| (chorus) |

| C#m | A | B | |
| And every tear he'll | wipe a | way |
