A		      D

There is a hunger, a longing for bread

    E			       A	 E/G#

And so comes the call for the poor to be fed

     F#m7		 Bm7

More hungry by far are a billion and more

     D		   A	       E	   A

Who wait for the Bread of the Word of the Lord



Chorus:

A	 D     E	 F#m   D	A	D	 E

So many books, so little time, so many hunger, so many blind

A			       E	  F#m

Starving for words, they must wait in the night

   D	   A	     E		      A

To open a Bible and move towards the Light



VAMP



There'll come a time, the prophets would say

When the joy of mankind will be withered away

A want not for water, but a hunger for more

A famine for hearing the Word of the Lord



CHORUS

      D	     A	        E		 F#m

...To open a Bible and move towards the Light,

D	A	  E		   A

Open a Bible and move towards the Light



     D			 A/C#

The Word won't go out, except it return

F#m			E

Full, over flowing and so we must learn



  A   D	     E  F#m	D   A	   E     D
