[Fm] [C] [Fm] [C] [Fm] [C] [Fm] [C]
Tried to [Fm]tell him there’s [C]pain here [Fm]and suffering [C]too

‘Cause since [Fm]she lost her [C]Mama, the Lord’s [F]been helping with the [C]grief


She said He [G]might just be a [Am]big story, but there’s [F]more to life than [C]truth
There’s [G]hope my son in [Am]peoples faith, gives them [F]strength to pull [G]through

‘Cause [G]I believe [Am]He’s just the story, and [F]I’m looking for the [C]truth
I have [G]faith in my [Am]own journey, with those [F]I love to help me [G]through


‘Cause [Dm]I know the world is a [C]beautiful place, too [Am]full of [G]life to be [F]alone
[Dm]I know the world is a [C]beautiful place, but we’re [Am]on [G]our [F]own
