G C etc. 
 
            G 
We can try to understand 
     Em 
It's something we should know 
    C 
A mother's dream is broken 
               G 
And she's got nowhere to go 
 
Do we know just what we're doing 
Em 
We're living in the past 
     C 
The hopes and dreams we're hiding 
               G 
Seem to hold on to the last  
    D                                 C                 G 
A million conversations never said a word 
D                                              C                            D 
Countless delegations saying things that won't be heard  
 
 
(Chorus): 
Em  Bm C                 G 
Oh oh    try to understand 
Am 
The children of the future 
D 
Gotta have a chance 
Em Bm  C                            G 
Oh oh    it's time to make it right 
Am 
There's gotta be a better way 
            C 
There's gotta be a better way  
 
 
G C 
 
         G 
You'll fight a war for fame 
Em 
No-one takes the blame 
       C 
She sells her soul for water 
	G              
As they feed another plane 
 
We don't know what we're doing 
Em 
The innocent won't last 
C 
Praying that their conscience makes 
         G 
Them recognize the past  
   D                                  C               G 
A million conversations never said a word 
D                                             C 
Countless delegations saying things that 
               D 
Won't be heard

D                                  C               G 
A million conversations never said a word 
D                                             C 
Countless delegations saying things that

Won't be heard
