[Intro]
C x4
[Verse 1]
C I watch my generation die Am I watch the heads of nations lie F I watch the homeless on the streets C G I stand here helpless just lookin' at my feet
[Verse 2]
C I watch the children run away Am The bullets fly where they would play F I watch a junkie fade away C G I ain't got an answer but I sure got things to say
[Chorus]
C Hey Hey, I gotta find a way Am Cause the road is dark gotta light my way F Fm Gotta fight the fear in my heart C G F C Oh, I pray I live to see a brighter day, hey hey
[Verse 3]
C I watch the old folks sit alone Am They talk to ghosts they used to know F Where are the wise men of the tribe C G Where are the midwives and the newborn's cry, yeah
[Verse 4]
C I wish that I could I'd turn back time Am Way back before there was corporate crime F We'd fight the wind to plant our seed C G When the earth was stronger than the human greed
[Chorus]
C Hey, I gotta find a way Am Cause the road is dark gotta light my way F Fm Gotta fight the fear in my heart C G C Oh, I pray I live to see A Brighter Day
[Bridge]
C Em I'm not tryin' to tell ya what's right or wrong Bb F I'm not trying to be clever Fm C You gotta hope things get better
G {no chord}

[Chorus]
C Hey, I gotta find a way Am Cause the road is dark gotta light my way F Fm Gotta fight the fear in my heart C G C Oh, I pray I live to see A Brighter Day
