A
We crucify these blue skies
             D          A
through our common history
E                              F#m
bloodshed stains our tired tv screens

A
Faces, names, and numbers
         D            A
like an avalanche of loss
E                            F#m
will we ever understand the cost?

[Chorus]
     D                 A
The songs that we are singin'
          E                A
will not echo through the ages
     D              A
the only time that matters
         E                A
is the time that we have now

    D                  A
So embrace like we're brothers
           E            A
Cause our hope is one another
    D               A
We come tonight as many
         E               A
And we leave tonight as one!

[Verse 2]
          A
It's not difficult to wonder
           D               A
if there's any chance for peace
    E                             F#m
Or will we cut until we start to bleed?

A
Every New Year's ringin'
          D           A
With new promises of change
      E                               F#m
that shatter like the glasses that we raise

[Chorus]
     D                 A
The songs that we are singin'
          E                A
will not echo through the ages
     D              A
the only time that matters
         E                A
is the time that we have now

    D                  A
So embrace like we're brothers
           E            A
Cause our hope is one another
    D               A
We come tonight as many
         E               A
And we leave tonight as one!

[Bridge]
N.C.
It begins in our thoughts, in our words, in our deeds
N.C.
If we care for one another then we're watering the seed
N.C.
It begins in our thoughts, in our words, in our deeds
N.C.
If we care for one another then we're watering the seed
N.C.
It begins in our thoughts, in our words, in our deeds
N.C.
If we care for one another then we're watering the seed
N.C.
It begins in our thoughts, in our words, in our deeds
N.C.
If we care for one another then we're watering the seed

[Chorus]
     D                 A
The songs that we are singin'
          E                A
will not echo through the ages
     D              A
the only time that matters
         E                A
is the time that we have now

    D                  A
So embrace like we're brothers
           E            A
Cause our hope is one another
    D               A
We come tonight as many
         E               A
And we leave tonight as one!
