[D] //// [Bm] //// [D] //// [Bm] ////

I [D]needed to write a [Bm]song today, to [D]see if I could [Bm]find a way

A [D]place where hate is no [Bm]longer found,
A [D]place where only [Bm]joy abounds.
A [A]place of love [G] and hap - pi - [D]ness . . . [D]

{soc}
[D]Why can't I [Bm]write . . [D] a song of [Bm]hope
about a [A]world filled with [G]love and [D] joy? . . . [D]
[D]Must there al - ways [Bm]be the dark, to [A]make us . . [G] hope for the [D] light? . . . [D]
{eoc}

To [D]taste . . of [Bm]love, must we [D]first . . taste [Bm]hate? .
Must we [A]be blind, be - [G]fore we can [D]se-ee? . . . [D]
[D]Must there al - ways [Bm] be the dark, to [A]make us . . [G] hope for the [D] light? . . . [D]
{eoc}

A [D]place of light that is [Bm]never dark . . .
A [D]place where happiness [Bm]finds its mark . . .
A [A]place with only [G]songs of [D]joy . . . [D]


{soc}
[D]Why . can't I [Bm]sing . . . [D] a song of [Bm]hope
about a [A]world filled with [G]love . . and [D] joy? . . . [D]
[D]Must there al - ways [Bm] be the dark, to [A]make us . . [G]hope for the [D]light? . . . [D]
{eoc}

[D]How did we get in [Bm]such a mess,
[D]All this hate and [Bm]bitterness?
[A]Is this where [G]hope springs to [D]li - ife? . . [D]

[D]if you find that [Bm]life is dark,
[D]Things get better [Bm]with a spark.
A [A]tiny spark of [G] hope for the [D]li-ght . . [D]

[A] Keep a spark of [G] hope for the [D]li-ght . . [D]
A [A]blinding spark of [G] hope for the [D]li-ght . . [D]~
