Chords for Kurt Bestor: [Live] Prayer of the Children 8/28/08

And I love the fact that this basically non-denominational prayer, [F] it's not even, it's not a secular
prayer per se, but it's a prayer for [G] something better in our world.
And I love that it's embraced by lots of people.
[F] It makes me feel good.
It's been sung recently by Three Dog Night.
They put it on their recent CD, [Bb] which is kind of cool for you old [C] folks who remember those guys.
David Archuleta sings [Ab] it in concert, and for [Eb] you classical singers, the King Singers [G] are
going to put it on a CD, I found [Bb] out.
So that's kind of cool.
Beat the royalties.
[D] But more than that, it just means [Ab] that the song's getting out, the message's getting out.
And I think it's wonderful here in the [D] shadows of the mountains and the church over here
and all kinds of good people that we end with a [C] prayer, but a prayer that's not about isms
and dogma, but a prayer that comes from a heart that wants the [A] best for children.
[C] And I'm lucky to have a daughter here in peace and prosperity.
But there are a lot of daughters around the [Ab] world and sons that don't have a mother and father.
They don't have the kind of things we [Ab] have.
This is really for them.
I usually [N] sing the last verse in Serbo-Croatian, but lately I've been singing it in Arabic.
And I think [Ab] that it kind of reminds us that in the midst [A] of war and warring [Abm] places in
the world, children are [D] just children.
And they [Abm] just want mommy and daddy to [N] be there and peace on earth.
[C] That's what it's all about.
So thank you very much, Jen, [D] Aggie.
Thanks and good luck, Beth, with everything.
[E] Thanks for everybody.
It's been a wonderful night.
[N] Thank you.
