James Taylor - Children’s Cry

[Chorus]
A D F#m G
Feel the earth, see the sky, hear our children’s children cry
A D G A
if we are gonna live, then it’s the bomb that has to die

[Verse 1]
A D F#m G
The people over here don’t want it; I know the people over there feel the same,
A D G
so it’s time for the leaders to learn to follow

A D F#m G
How can you love; how can you play; how can you work for a better day,
A D F#m G
knowing it can all be blown away tomorrow?

[Chorus]
A D F#m G
Feel the earth, see our sky, hear our children’s children cry,
A D G A
if we intend to live, then it’s the bomb that has to die

[Verse 2]
A D F#m G
Deep in our sleep, the earth, our mother, speaks to her children, saying sisters and brothers,
A D G
wake one another and take this one on together

A D F#m G
The danger never been so clear, the moment has never been so near,
A D G
when it seems to me that it’s here, it’s now or never,
G
we have got to:

[Chorus]
A D F#m G
Feel the earth, see our sky, hear our children’s children cry,
A D G A
that-if we intend to live, then it’s the bomb that has to die
A D G A
if we intend to live, then it’s the bomb that has to die
