D                       
Too many broken pro-mis-es
                G
Too many trail of tears
        D                 G
Too many times you were left cold
       A
For oh so many years

Too many times you walked away
And was made to feel ashamed
And though you only tried to give
You were often blamed

How can this world be so dark
So unfair and so untrue
How did the cards of life
Fold right on top of you

God in heaven, hear my prayer
If you are still above
Send the children hopes and dreams
And lots and lots of love
   F                         C
For this I only ask of you to conquer all their fears
                            G7                   C
And let them soar like eagles across the trail of tears
