Topic: Maybe Some Day
I was just strumming around tonight and thought I would put words to what I felt was a nice chord progression and it ended up like this. With grown kids starting out in the world I was hoping they don’t follow too far down the path we’ve blazed for them and I guess that is where these lyrics come from. Anyway, I hope you all like it.

Intro
[Am] [C] [Em] [C] [Em] [Am] [C] [Em] [C] [Em] [C] [Am] [G] [Am] [G] [Am] [C] [Em] [C] [Em]
[F] [G] [Em] [C] [F] [G] [F] [Am]
Verse 1
The [Am]wonders I’ve seen in [C]my life
Can [Em]still take my breath a[C]way[Em]
As I [Am]think back when I was [C]a child
My [Em]how far we’ve come to this [C]day[Em]
Verse 2
[C]Just the thought of putting a [Am]man on the moon
Was not [G]possible way back [Am]when[G]
Yet we [Am]did that back when I was a [C]child
And we’ve made [Em]other achievements since [C]then[Em]
Chorus 1
Yet [F]children still starve and [G]people still kill
And it [Em]happens each and every[C]day
You’d [F]think with all our ad[G]vances
We could have found a [F]way... maybe some[Am]day
Verse 3
[Am]We now have a [C]global world
[Em]Businesses throughout all the [C]lands[Em]
With [Am]great minds working to[C]gether
To [Em]make a strong corporate [C]stand[Em]
Verse 4
We’ve [C]far surpassed the dreams of our [Am]fathers
Who dreamt a [G]future not quite like it [Am]is[G]
I [Am]still wonder where it's all [C]going
And the [Em]world where my children will [C]live[Em]
Chorus 2
Will [F]children still starve and [G]people still kill
And will it [Em]happen each and every[C]day
I [F]hope with all our future ad[G]vances
We can someday find a [F]way... maybe some[Am]day
Verse 5
What [Am]will be our next great in[C]vention
A [Em]flying car or the cure for [C]AIDs may[Em]be
For [Am]sure it’ll make lots of [C]money
But [Em]we’ll have to [C]wait and [Em]see
Verse 6
I guess our [C]future’s still a bit [Am]foggy
But [G]hopefully our children will pre[Am]vail[G]
I [Am]hope I’m still around [C]to see
The [Em]path we take on that winding [C]trail[Em]
Ending Chorus
Where [F]no children starve or [G]people kill
And we all [Em]love each other every[C]day
And our [F]future advances re[G]inforce this
I hope someday we can [F]find a way... maybe some[Am]day
