Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am]Ther[F]e's [Dm]a mo[Am]ther[F][Dm]
[Am]on h[F]er k[Dm]nees
[Am]Somewhere in [F]San Fran[Dm]cisco
Looking [Am]up and beg
[F]ging [Dm]please
"God, do not [Am]forget [F]me now[D]"
Her [Am]baby's [F]on ma[Dm]chines
Cause his [Am]heart cannot [F]keep beat[Dm]ing
And she knows [Am]what des[F]perate [Dm]means
Cause [Am]the clock is [F]ticking
[D]down and down
[C]And hope rushed in

[Verse 2]
[F]like waves
[C]That someone might just [F]save the day
[C]And if heaven's just a pray
[F]er away
Then "Why," [G]she [C]cries [Am]"would God
[F]not change [C]things?"

[Verse 3]
It may be miles [C]and miles
[F]Before the jou[Fm]rney's cle[C]ar
There may be river[Gm]s,
maybe [F]oceans of [Fm]tears
But the [C]very hand that shields your
eyes from [F]understand[Fm]ing
Is [C]the hand that will [Gsus4]be hold ing you
for [G]miles
[Am][F][Dm][Am][F]

[Verse 4]
[Dm]
There's another [Am]mother
on [F]her knees[Dm]
[Am]Somewhere in [F]San Fran[Dm]cisco
Looking [Am]up and beggi[F]ng p[Dm]lease
"God do [Am]not [F]forget me [D]now"
It [Am]happened like [F]a dream[Dm]
He was laugh[Am]ing, [F]he was run[Dm]ning
And she [Am]heard [F]the sirens [Dm]scream
When [Am]her little boy [F]fell down
[D]and dow[Em]n
[C]And she had [F]never known
The [C]agony of let[F]ting go
[C]But a few miles [F]down the road
His [G]heart would [C]find a [Am]baby boy
[G]Just [C]in [F]time

[Verse 5]
[F][C]
It may be miles and miles
[F]Before the jou[Fm]rney's clear
[C]There may be rivers,
maybe [F]oceans of [Fm]tears
But the [C]very hand that shields your eyes
From [F]understand[Fm]ing
Is [C]the hand that will [Gsus4]be hold
ing you for [F]miles

[Verse 6]
And one moment [Em]someone
whis[C]pers
"Thank [Dm]you"
Just then another heart [C]cries
"How could you?"
When je[F]sus receives us
[C]He says "I hear you[Ddim]
and I'm near [Dm]you."
[C][F][Fm][C]

[Verse 7]
[F][Fm]
And the [C]very hand that shields your
eyes from [F]understand[Fm]ing
Is [C]the hand that will [Gsus4]be hold ing you
[G]for miles[Am][F][Dm]
[Am][F][Dm]
