Am
Streets dawn with empty light
Dm
Bullets clutter the sidewalk
F
The gun trembles in a young man's hand
E
The mother visits a grave site


[Chorus 1]
Am
They ask why we suffer
Dm
Oh God please answer
F
Rivers run, mountains peak
E
We remain scared


[Chorus 2]
Am
I try to remember
Dm
You and me together
F
Rivers run, mountains peak
E
We all remain scared


[Bridge]
Am
It's so abrupt

(Reach out, end fear)

Dm       F       E
The life designed for us

(Reach out, end fear)

Am
It's so abrupt

(Reach out, end fear)

Dm       F       E
The life designed for us

(Reach out, end fear)


[Chorus 1]
Am
They ask why we suffer
Dm
Oh God please answer
F
Rivers run, mountains peak
E
We remain scared


[Chorus 3]
Am
The city mourns another loss
Dm
But we'll pray forever
F
Rivers run, mountains peak
E
I know You're there
