Intro 1

Verse 1
G G 
 
Headlines
scream and voices fly
C C 
 
F F 
 
Like sling and stone
G G 
 
Em Em 
 
G G 
 
The hate they wield,
C C 
 
F F 
 
a  sharpened knife, it cuts the hole
G G 
 
Em Em 
 
G G 
 
Em Em 
 
They twist the truth,
G G 
 
C C 
 
F F 
 
they spread the fear to hide the lie
G G 
 
Em Em 
 
G G 
 
C C 
 
When the world feels dark and the path unclear,
you realize
F F 
 
Em Em 
 
Am Am 
 
G G 
 
Child, this may be the time to
C C 
 
F F 
 
C C 
 
F F 
 
G G 
 
close your eyes
C C 
 
Imagination banned for all
the books you've read
F F 
 
G G 
 
They misdirect with trigger
C C 
 
words and bullet breath
F F 
 
G G 
 
The news reports a broken
C C 
 
F F 
 
song of rights denied
G G 
 
C C 
 
They build their walls around
G G 
 
C C 
 
your heart in crooked lines
F F 
 
Em Em 
 
Am Am 
 
G G 
 
Child, this may be the time to
C C 
 
G G 
 
F F 
 
G G 
 
C C 
 
G G 
 
F F 
 
close your eyes
G G 
 
C C 
 
The preachers rage, the pundits sneer,
F F 
 
a war of words
G G 
 
C C 
 
They twist religion, make it hate,
F F 
 
they lock the doors
G G 
 
C C 
 
Their moral high ground planted flags,
F F 
 
their martyrs' cries
G G 
 
They judge and scorn and fail
C C 
 
to see the rainbow skies
F F 
 
Em Em 
 
Am Am 
 
G G 
 
Child, this may be the time to close
C C 
 
G G 
 
F F 
 
C C 
 
G G 
 
F F 
 
Em Em 
 
your eyes
Am Am 
 
G G 
 
But listen softly for the sound,
C C 
 
F F 
 
the burning fuse
G G 
 
Igniting painters, activists,
C C 
 
F F 
 
prophets bringing news
G G 
 
Em Em 
 
G G 
 
Of families, stories,
C C 
 
F F 
 
hearts and minds opening wide
G G 
 
The hopes of all the painted
C C 
 
F F 
 
bruises realized
G G 
 
Of all
God's children's thriving lives,
C C 
 
F F 
 
may this be the day
G G 
 
Of husbands, husbands, wives,
C C 
 
F F 
 
and wives, may this be the day.
G G 
 
When beauty's beauty and love is love,
C C 
 
F F 
 
may this be the day.
G G 
 
Thank
God you're safe and you're enough,
C C 
 
F F 
 
may this be the day.
G G 
 
C C 
 
When all the faceless hear their names,
F F 
 
let this be the night
G G 
 
C C 
 
When all the shapeless rest in frames,
F F 
 
let this be the night
G G 
 
When all the tears are wiped away,
C C 
 
F F 
 
let this be the night
G G 
 
When all true justice falls like rain
C C 
 
F F 
 
Em Em 
 
Let this be the night, oh child
Am Am 
 
This may be the time
G G 
 
C C 
 
F F 
 
Open up your eyes
C C 
 
Open up your eyes
G G 
 
F F 
 
G G 
 
C C 
 
G G 
 
F F 
 
Open up your eyes
C C 
 
G G 
 
F F 
 
G G

Open up your eyes
you
