[C#m] [E]
Father, [D]
[C#m] where's the love I thought there [A] would be?
Where's the happiness [C#m] [E] in me?
[A] [Dm]
Is [Gm] life just an endless [D#] walk to nowhere?
With [Dm] streets that just lead [Gm] to dead ends?
[D#]
[Dm]
Where parents [Gm] water their flowers with hate, [D#]
and children do the same?
[Dm] But who's to [Gm]
blame?
[D#] Spring?
No.
[D] It's just a gentle thing.
[C#m] [A]
But man
[D] flies around the moon
[C#]
and [A] sings a song that starts with June
[F#m] and [E] eats his lunch at every noon.
[A]
In harmony he does this,
[D] but with [C#] love he's out of tune.

[D] Father, [C#m] [A] father, father,
[F#m]
you [C#m] were surely [A] right.
If the world [C#m] should end
[A] [F#m] tomorrow,
it would be [C#m] by man's [A] own mind.
[F#m]
Lord, [E] have mercy [A] on [F#m] us.
Seems to [C#m] be our
[A] favorite [F#m] line.
When it all [C#m] went down, [A] all in trouble,
[D] all God's [C#m] children [A] turned divine.
[Dm] Father, [Gm] there's war and pawn.
[Am] Lord, [Gm] there's hurt and sorrow.
[F] I'm going [Gm] to be an old seed tomorrow.
[F] [Gm]
[D] [A] Father, father, father,
why can't we [C#m] do [A] what's right?
[F#m]
Lord, [C#m] please smile [A] upon [F#m] us.
Give us [C#m] your guiding [A] light.
