First verse:
F Fmaj7
Every life, every beating heart
Bb
Has a searching soul inside
Fsus
Ever needing, ever seeking out
Gm
The meaning to life
F Fmaj7 Bb
I refuse to believe that we’re only here to live and die
Fsus Gm
In the futile days of a faithless haze
Dm G C
Never asking why, why would I
Dm G C
When I’ve felt the hand of eternity
Dm G Bb
It’s a legacy I will leave, I want to leave
F
For the children of the world
Bb
Every single little boy and girl
C
Heaven plants a special seed
Dm Bb
And we must have faith for these
Second verse:
F Fmaj7
I will stand for the truth I’ve seen
Bb
So the truth is seen in me
Fsus Gm
I will give from the source of love
Dm G C
So all that I believe is handed down
Dm G C
For the road that’s yet to be travelled on
Dm G Bb
By the ones who will carry on, I’ll carry on
Chorus:
F
For the children of the world
Bb
Every single little boy and girl
C
Heaven plants a special seed
F
And we must have faith for these
F
Red and yellow, black and white
Bb
They are precious in the Father’s eyes
C
Like the Father may we see
Dm Bb
That they have a destiny, yeah
Gm Bb C
And give them the light of love to lead
Dm G C
Through the darkness around us now
Dm G Bb
To a place where hope is found
Repeat Chorus:
