101. I Want To Give You This World

by Hillie Edwards

C       G7      C      Am F     G      C C7
I want to give you a thousand things; I want to give you this world.
F    C      G7   Am   F     G         C C7
Full of children's laughing voices; I want to give you this world.
F   C     G7 Am    F         G G7
Peel away the muddy darkness of our hate and fear.
C      G C     Am F      G      C
And we'll find a world of light. I want to give you this world.
Once we could laugh and bare foot run; where did the happy days go?
Where are sun and dew sweet grasses? Where did the happy days go?
They are shackled in the prison of our self-born pride.
Smash the bars and free the world; that's where the happy days lie.
Once by the sea we could sit and sing. Where has the happy world gone?
Where are sun and dew sweet grasses? Where did the happy days go?
But we can't accept this blind world, filled with loss and pain;
So we'll all roll up our sleeves; we'll make it flower again.
