[Intro 1]
[C]

[Verse 1]
There's a [C]warning in the wind
That [D]comes [G]wailing [Bm]through [E]the trees
[Am]A depression in [E]th[Am]e shoreline
Left [Csus4]by the pounding seas
There is a [C]lesson in the drought
[Csus2]That brin[C]gs a [G]country t[E]o its knees
in [G]these [F]tim[G]es.[Csus2][C][F]
We are [C]dancing with disaster
[Csus2]when we l[D]ive[Abdim] beyond o[E]ur needs
and [Am]pretend our hungry souls
are not re[Csus4]lated to our greed.
[F]Lif[Dm]e's a j[C]ourney,
[Csus2]but it's [D]not a[G]bout[Em] the s[E]peed
in [G]these [F]times.[Dm][G][Am][C][F]
[C]In [Csus2]these tim[G]es,[Am]
we must be [G]mindful of the gift
In [F]these times,
use [Dm]our [G]hands and hearts
to lift the fallen [Am]spirit in this land
Planting [D]flowers in the sand,
reaching [Dm]out a[F]
Helping him [Dm]in t[G]hese
[Dm]time[C]s[F][C]
[Csus2]As the pe[Dsus4]rfect[Csus2]
[C]storm approaches
[Csus2]And the g[D]ale [E]around us roars
No [Am]longer can we close our eyes
And [F]hide behind our door[Csus4]s
Our [C]choice is fewer [Csus2]now
[C]But [Am]we've [E]chosen to ignore
in [Am]these [F]tim[Dm]es[G][Am][C][Dm][F]
[Csus4]The ship [C]of state is drifting
And [Dm]it's [E]getting hard to steer
[Am]It's a complicated issue
But the dir[Csus4]ection's pretty clear
An[C]d each of us is who we need
To [E]get to there from here
in [F]these [Dm]times[G][C][F]
[Dm]In these t[Am]imes,
we must be [G]mindful of the gift
In [F]these times,
use [G]our hands and hearts to lift
The falling [Am]spirit in this land
Bringing [Dsus4]water to [D]the sand
Reaching [Dm]out a helpi[F]ng hand
[Dm]In t[G]hese[Dm] times[Am][F][Dm][G]
[Am][F][G][Am][F]
[Dm][G][Csus2][F][C]
In everything [Cm]that's liv[C]ing
There [D]is a [E]promise of love
planted [Am]in the seeds below
and [F]in the stars [Csus4]above.
We must [C]listen [Csus2]to its message,
[C]become [E]faithful stewards
[F]of [G]these [C]times.[F][C]
[Dm]In t[Am]hese times,
we must be [G]mindful of the gift.
In [Dm]these [F]times
Use [Dm]our [G]hands [Gm]and h[G]earts
To lift the fallen [Am]spirit
In this land
Growing gar[Dsus4]dens in the [D]sand
Reaching [Dm]out a h[F]elping hand
[G]In [Dm]these [Am]times
We must be [G]mindful of the gift
In [Dm]these [F]times
Use our [G]hands and hearts
The fallen [Am]spirit in this land
Planting [Dsus4]flowers i[D]n his sand
Reaching [Dm]out a h[F]elping hand
[G]In [D]the[Dm]se t[C]imes
