I Keep Listening

[Verso 1]
 
C 
We hear about the wars, see famine in the land 
        F 
There's questions in the children's eyes, trouble in the east again 
    Em7                             F 
The whole world is shaking, there's no sure place to stand 
    C                   F                    C 
And mournful sounds are heard throughout the land 
 


[Refrão]
 
C                          F 
But I keep listening for a different sound. 
    C                      F 
The sound of the city that John saw coming down. 
    C                          F 
The sound of the Bride being united with the Groom. 
C                 F 
I keep listening, I keep listening, 
C                      F         C 
I keep listening for a different sound. 
 


[Verso 2]
 
C 
I remember the preacher sayin' "Son, it shall come to pass, 
         F 
There'll come a generation that will be the last." 
   Em      Em7                     F 
I can't believe I'm standing here, seeing the end of time, 
        C                 F             C 
And the preacher's voice, echoing in my mind. 
 


[Refrão]
 
C                          F 
But I keep listening for a different sound. 
    C                      F 
The sound of the city that John saw coming down. 
    C                          F 
The sound of the Bride being united with the Groom. 
C                 F 
I keep listening, I keep listening, 
C                      F         C 
I keep listening for a different sound.
