[Em] As I look through my eyes, the world is in a state of confusion.
Happiness is just an illusion.
So I kneel down and I begin to pray.
Heavenly Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be [G] thy name, thy kingdom come.
Thy [Am] will be done on earth [F#]
as it is in heaven,
and give [B] us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us [Em] our trespasses,
and forgive those who [C] trespass against us.
[G] Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from all [Am] evil.
For ever [F#] and ever.
Amen.
