C#m B A E For the whole song. Note that the tuning is a half step down.
Verse 1:
We are slaves to these age-old afflictions
Fighting for control 'till we fell too far
Pursue desire, ignore our convictions
Only wretched souls beneath the weeping stars
Pre-Chorus 1:
We are calling out in the thick of the war
I am standing down to fight for something more
Would we cease these battles, let this love resound
Still too hard to find our common ground
Chorus:
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/t/tim_be_told/humanity_crd_ver_2.html ]
There's a fire that stays bold and courageous
There's a light to light the way
There's a fire that stays bold and courageous
There's a light to light the way
Verse 2:
And we try so hard to heal our diseases
We break to pieces when our hope has failed
Some will live or die without a reason
Such are the seasons, still our faith prevails
Pre-Chorus 2:
We are lost and found and beg to be restored
We keep falling down, harder than before
But love will find a way to give us strength to carry on
Sorrow for now, but someday soon be gone
Chorus
Verse 3:
So we come and go, it's still a mystery
And we'll be history long before we find
All the secrets since now and forever
We hope for better on the other side
Bridge:
God, hear the cries of your people! (x4)
Chorus
