Verse 1:

G                           C

What makes the world want to go

   G

on turning?

    D                         G

And why do the stars choose to shine?

C                          G

Who tells the moon when to change 

C

its face?

D                          G

And what moves the sun in a line?



Chorus 1:

G

As He looked at the world of His

D

Father's hand,

                      G

So much He wanted to understand.

D

His countless questions, 

G

His curious joy.

    C           G

When Jesus was a boy.



Verse 2:

G                       C      G

Why are some people so unforgiving?

D                        G

And when did this sorrow begin?

C                     G           C

What makes the hungry ones go on living?

D                          G

Is this how they suffer for sin?



Chorus 2:

G                     D

His sweet simplicity wondered why

G                         D

This is a world where we all



must die?

     G

The darkness of doubt He could



D

Not avoid.

      C    D     G

When Jesus was a boy.



Bridge:

C                    G

After all it's the children's task

     C                         G

That they should wonder, that they 

      D

Should ask

       G                  C

Their very own questions about 



This world.

     G            D

For every boy and girl.



Verse 3:

G                         C

And so you should not be ashamed 

   G

Of asking,

D                          G

No matter how pointless it seems.

C                                 G

But know there are questions that have

C

No answers,

D                          G

Except for the answers you dream.



Let's here a big AMEN to that!
