** The whole song is played in D-Modal tuning (DADGAD) with blues picking **
[Intro]
[Verse]
Lord itâs wrong to prey on the needy
How I hope that I am never on
That loses touch with the souls that surround me
I got my feet in the dirt
I get my heat from the sun
And I know thereâs a heartless among us
How it pains me to hear of the despair
Men in high places gonna talk of peace through violence
Fuelling enemies with weapons
As they strip each other bare
[Chorus]
And I hope that peace will find us
Even if I m the only one
And I try, I try, to look towards the sky
But I fear that today, all my hope it is gone
[Instrumental]
[Verse]
Tell me Jesus where can I find the answers
Up on the hillsides or in the valleys below?
None of our leaders take heed of the warnings
Together we gonna gather and rise up as one
[Chorus]
Life is more sacred than the dollar
Fighting for freedom weâll pay a cost
Oh and I try, I try to look towards the sky
But I fear that today all my hope it is gone
[Outro]
