[Verse 1]
    D    Dm     D            D    Dm       A
Too many broken promises too many trail of tears
         Dm        D7        G        A              D
Too many times you were left cold for oh     so many years
 
[Verse 2]
         D                 Dm          D             A
Too many times you walked away and was made to feel ashamed
A              D       D7       G      A              Dm
And though you only    tried to give   you were often blamed

How can this world be so dark so unfair and so untrue
            D        G         A               D
How did the cards of life fold right on top of you

God in heaven hear my prayer if you are still above
         D                  G          A                Dm
Send the children hopes and dreams and lots and lots of love
 
[Bridge]
    G                         D                 D7
For this I only ask of you to conquer all their fears
    D                     Dsus2    A         Asus4    D
And let them soar like eagles     across the trail of tears
