First verse:

F Fmaj7

Every life, every beating heart

Bb

Has a searching soul inside

Fsus

Ever needing, ever seeking out

Gm

The meaning to life

F Fmaj7 Bb

I refuse to believe that we're only here to live and die

Fsus Gm

In the futile days of a faithless haze

Dm G C

Never asking why, why would I

Dm G C

When I've felt the hand of eternity

Dm G Bb

It's a legacy I will leave, I want to leave

F

For the children of the world

Bb

Every single little boy and girl

C

Heaven plants a special seed

Dm Bb

And we must have faith for these

Second verse:

F Fmaj7

I will stand for the truth I've seen

Bb

So the truth is seen in me

Fsus Gm

I will give from the source of love

Dm G C

So all that I believe is handed down

Dm G C

For the road that's yet to be travelled on

Dm G Bb

By the ones who will carry on, I'll carry on

Chorus:

F

For the children of the world

Bb

Every single little boy and girl

C

Heaven plants a special seed

F

And we must have faith for these

F

Red and yellow, black and white

Bb

They are precious in the Father's eyes

C

Like the Father may we see

Dm Bb

That they have a destiny, yeah

Gm Bb C

And give them the light of love to lead

Dm G C

Through the darkness around us now

Dm G Bb

To a place where hope is found

Repeat Chorus:
