Intro: D F#m Em A(light and flowing)
Verse
G A
Two months is too little
D F#m

G A
Sudden healing
G A
To think that providence would
D F#m G
Take a child from his mother while she prays
A A
Is appalling

Who told us we'd be rescued
D F#m G
What has changed and why should we be saved

From nightmares
G A
We're asking why this happens
D F#m G
To us, who have died to live
A
It's unfair

This is what it is to be loved, and to know
A D F#m
That the promise was when everything fell
G A A

A
Our sorrow
G A
The wise hand opens slowly
D F#m G
To lillies of the valley and
A
Tomorrow
Chorus(change of key)
