   Bm               Bm
We see the pain, we know it’s not fair

     F#m                   F#m
We advert our eyes, but_we know it's there

   Bm                Bm
My eyes are blind, I do not see

  F#m              C#7
I filter what will please me
[Chorus]
A          E                  G                  D
Oh, Lord I pray to thee, that we will learn from yesterday

        A           E                   G                     D           Bm Bm
We_were born with 5 gifts from you, but rarely use them as_we ought to do
[Verse 2] (Touch)
Bm                     Bm
Touch should heal, not hold a gun

 F#m          F#m
Abandom them, one by one.

     Bm        Bm
Pick up a pen, write it down

F#m                        C#7
Share with the world, what can be done
[Chorus]
A          E                  G                  D
Oh, Lord I pray to thee, that we will learn from yesterday

        A           E                   G                     D           Bm Bm
We_were born with 5 gifts from you, but rarely use them as_we ought to do
[Verse 3] (Sound)
   Bm                  Bm
We hear the cries, the screams, the fears

       F#m                      F#m
Of the poor, the suffering, the ringing in the ears

(soft) Bm               Bm
       Some are silent, some are loud

    F#m                C#7
But all are deafening, as a storm cloud
[Chorus]
A          E                  G                  D
Oh, Lord I pray to thee, that we will learn from yesterday

        A           E                   G                     D           Bm Bm
We_were born with 5 gifts from you, but rarely use them as_we ought to do
[Verse 4] (Smell)
Bm                      Bm
The smell of gunpowder, smell of damp

F#m                         F#m
Smell of sewerage, from_the Refugee camp

    Bm                 Bm
Yet in the garden, the flowers are blooming

F#m                    C#7
Freshness of new life, ever growing
[Chorus]
A          E                  G                  D
Oh, Lord I pray to thee, that we will learn from yesterday

        A           E                   G                     D           Bm Bm
We_were born with 5 gifts from you, but rarely use them as_we ought to do
[Verse 5] (Taste)
    Bm                     Bm
The bitter aftertaste, you get in your mouth

    F#m                           F#m
The lump in your throat, you_just can’t get out.

Bm                 Bm
Sour and sweet, we savour the feeling

    F#m                       C#7
But when you’re hungry, taste has no meaning
[Chorus]
A          E                  G                  D
Oh, Lord I pray to thee, that we will learn from yesterday

        A           E                   G                     D           Bm Bm
We_were born with 5 gifts from you, but rarely use them as_we ought to do
[Verse 6] (Hope)
Bm                             Bm
Listen for a response when you say a prayer,

F#m                   F#m
Taste the unknown, do not despair

Bm                 Bm
Smell the flowers, look_for the good,

F#m                       C#7
Open up your mind, as_you know you should
[Chorus]
A          E                  G                  D
Oh, Lord I pray to thee, that we will learn from yesterday

        A           E                   G                     D
We_were born with 5 gifts from you, but rarely use them as_we ought to do

A          E                  G                  D
Oh, Lord I pray to thee, that we will learn from yesterday

We_were born with 5 gifts from you, but rarely use them as_we ought to do
