Like the ancient Roman Empire, [A] this world [D] is doomed to fall
And it's much too big a thing for mortal man
Just [G] take a look around and [D] see the writing on [Bm] the wall
[D] Somehow you've got to find a helping hand
This world has never been [G] in the awful shape [D] it's [Dm] in
And people scorn the things [D] our leaders do
It's time a prayer was spoken [G] from the heart of [Dm] every man
[D] Jesus, [A] take a hold and lead us through
[D] The mighty roar of gunfire [A] is now [D] a local sound
And our city streets are filled with angry men
[G] Laws now mock grief throughout [Bm] our troubled land
And destruction [F#m] seems to be the [D] current trend
This world has never been [G] in the awful shape [Dm] it's [D] in
And our leaders seem in doubt what to do
It's time a prayer was spoken [G] from the heart of every [D] man
Jesus, take a hold and lead us through
Jesus, take a [A] hold and lead us through
[E] [D]
And it's much too big a thing for mortal man
Just [G] take a look around and [D] see the writing on [Bm] the wall

This world has never been [G] in the awful shape [D] it's [Dm] in
And people scorn the things [D] our leaders do
It's time a prayer was spoken [G] from the heart of [Dm] every man
