Capo 1st fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Today my heart was torn

 Violence finally won the war

The crying of despair

 Surfacing all my fears

 I cannot believe

 The images I've seen

 What can I do?

I'll just pray for you

Cause we'll never really know

What you went through that day

And we'll never really know

All the right words to say

And we'll never really know

Why this took your life away

But it broke down my walls

And it helped me to change

Yes it broke down our walls

I hope we will change

Verse 2

So right across the nation

 The tears and the frustration

Is there hope for what's to come?

 Will we raise a family or a gun?

Cause I cannot believe

 The images I've seen

 What can I do?

I'll just pray for you

Chorus

x2)

Cause we'll never really know

What you went through that day

And we'll never really know

All the right words to say

And we'll never really know

Why this took your life away

And it broke down my walls

And it helped me to change

Yes it broke down our walls

I hope we will change

Repeat Chorus

End on Em
