Intro:
D A F#m G

D
It’s been a long time coming that I had to say
A
When I wake up in the morning all I do is pray
F#m
For some guidance and protection on the streets today
G
And an answer to the questions I ask everyday

D
So tell me why do the birds that used to fly here
A
Tell me why do they come to die here?
F#m
And all the kids that used to run here
G
Tell me why do they load their guns here?

D
I remember in the days when
A
We were one heart, no need to defend
Em
I just wrap my arms around you
G
Don’t give up, this song is for you

D
Hey, hey, hey
A
No matter how life is today
F#m
There’s just one thing that I got to say
G
I won’t let another moment slip away

D
I say hey, hey, hey
A
No matter how life is today
Em
There’s just one thing that I got to say
G
I won’t let another moment slip away

D A
I hold on, I’m trying to hold on
F#m G
I hold on, hold on, hold on

D
From the tops of the buildings to the streets below
A
Between the Wall Street banks and the empty homes
F#m
Between the lines of the people standing all in a row
G
There’s a crack in the gutter where a flower grows

D
Reminding me that everything is possible
A
Yeah, reminding me that nothing is impossible
Em
You gotta live for the one that you love you know
G
You gotta love for the life that you live you know

D
Singing hey, hey, hey
A
No matter how life is today

I hold on, I’m trying to hold on
F#m D
I hold on, I’m trying to hold on

F#m
Until the morning comes again
D
I will remain with you my friend
A
And we will ride until the sun
A
Goes to the place where it begun
A
And we will live to laugh and cry another day

D
Don’t let nobody ever tell you that it couldn’t be done
A
Don’t let nobody ever tell you that we couldn’t be one
Em
Don’t let nobody ever tell you that it shouldn’t be sung
