[C#m] [Cm]
[C#m]
Hello friend, I've come calling, I've left the station, I did [Em] patrol,
I'm sliding in and hiding in like some reluctant [C#m] sheriff,
And I want to get erupted [G#] and all,
Whose hands got for each other,
[A] Oh I must need God, anything at [Em] [F#m] all,
[G#]
[C#] Anything at [C#m] all,
From the earth's four corners, the people are calling,
Forming equations, but the questions are [Em] hard,
Old men are brothers, killing each other,
[C#m] And mother earth is ringing [G] in [G#] wonder,
Whose hands got for each [A] other,
Oh I must need God, anything at [F#m] all,
[G#]
[C#m] Anything at all,
[F#] World away now,
[C#m] World [B] away now,
World [F#] away now,
[B]
World [C#m] away,
There's a cross on the road, there's a great mill turning,
Some seeking answers, some born [Em] with answers,
You can hold on a blade and turn around forever,
[C#m] Be flown into space into another [G] kind of [G#] grace,
Whose hands got for each other,
[A] Oh I must need God, anything at [F#] all,
[G#]
Anything [C#m] at all,
World [F#] away now,
World [G#] [B] away now,
World [F#m] away [F#] now,
World [C#] away,
[C#m]
[B] World [F#] away now,
[E] World [C#m] [B] away now,
World [F#] away now,
[C#m] World away,
Some give up their hands, some give up their land,
Some give up their life,
Laying the fields of grain,
Scrap the life all around you,
But yet you know, cut someone down for their possessions,
Some material thing,
And our children are being blown away like,
Wishes in the wind,
All the sleep and the cold,
All the [E] colors of their coat,
All the [C#m] color of their skin,
All the name of their [Em] shoes,
[C#m] All the mother of [G] crimes,
[C#m]
Who [C#] are they [C#m] to my son?
[B]
[C#m] [Gm] And our father [C#] warned us,
[G#m] Warned us in the one [C#] morning,
[C#m] He extended his hand,
He gave of his land,
He gave of his bread,
He gave of his heart,
Said hello friend,
Hello friend, Hello friend,
Hello [C#] friend,
