VERSE (keyboards and bass)

  D       E7        G/A      G      D  

  D       E7        G/A      G      D 


VERSE 1

We live in a dream
If we really think
Everything's alright

This world is in need 
Crying out to be freed
We gotta shed some light

VERSE 2

Do you know a man
Who's needing a hand?
Don't ya walk on by

A sister is sad
Lost all that she had
We gotta take the time

VERSE 3

Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo ...



BRIDGE (keyboards and bass)

  F#      G        F#        Bmin

  E7               A7                   &

BRIDGE 1 and 3

Teach the world to smile
And hear angels sing
Feel the breath of God
And the power it brings
It' time to come together, you and I
And share the love of Jesus Christ

BRIDGE 2

Look around your world 
It will testify
Some have empty hearts
Some have hungry eyes
God can heal the suffering through our hands
Find compassion, take a stand
