For Future Generations – 4Him


Intro:

C  Dm  G  C


Verse 1:

F              C/E               G    C
The signs are obvious; they are everywhere
F           C/E                 C        D/F#
All that we hear about is the gloom and despair
     F              C/E                     G/B       C
Too many would be prophets sayin’ it’s the end of it all
         F                 G                 Am             G
‘Cause mother earth can’t take much more; the hammer’s gonna fall


Verse 2:

F         C/E                       G      C
So nature has its needs, that’s a lesson learned
F        C/E                     C        D
But it appears to me there are greater concerns
        F               C/E                      G/B      C
‘Cause we can save the planet, thinkin’ we will somehow survive
      Am             G            Am              G
But father time is calling us to save somebody’s life


Chorus 1:

            C
So I won’t bend and I won’t break
         Am
I won’t water down my faith
          F              G             C    G
I won’t compromise in a world of desperation
          C
What has been I cannot change
          Dm7
But for tomorrow and today
       G                         C      Am   G
I must be a light for future generations


Verse 3:

F           C/E              G          C
If we could find a way to preserve our faith
F             C/E               C              D
So those who follow us see the price that was paid
       F               C/E                    G/B       C
Then maybe when they question what it’s gonna take to survive
         Am                   G           Am             G
They’ll find the strength to carry on in what we leave behind


Repeat Chorus 1


Bridge:

F
Lookin’ in the eyes of the children
C/E
Knowing that tomorrow is at stake
Am
When the choice is up to them
                     G/B
Will they have the strength to say


Chorus 2:  (key change up a half step)

          C#
We won’t bend and we won’t break
          A#m
We won’t water down our faith
           F#             G#           C#    G#
We won’t compromise in a world of desperation
          C#
What has been we cannot change
          D#m7
But for tomorrow and today
        G#              C#
We must be a light for future generations


Repeat Chorus 2


Tag:

        C#              G#         C#
We must be a light for future generations
        C#              G#         C#
We must be a light for future generations
        C#              G#         C#
We must be a light for future generations
