Cm D# Fm
He'd trade his guns for love
G# Cm
But he's caught in the crossfire
D# Fm
And he keeps wakin' up
G# Cm
But it's not to the sound of birds
D# Fm
The tyranny, the violent streets
G# Cm
Deprived of all that we're blessed with
D# Fm G#
And we can't get enough, no
Cm Eb
Heaven if you sent us down
Fm G#
So we could build a playground
Cm Eb
For the sinners to play as saints
Fm G#
You'd be so proud of what we've made
Cm Eb
I hope you got some beds around
Fm G#
Cause you're the only refuge now
Cm Eb Fm
For every mother, every child, every brother
G# Cm D# Fm
That's caught in the crossfire
G# Cm D# Fm

I'd trade my luck to know

Why he's caught in the crossfire
D# Fm
And I'm here wakin' up
G# Cm
To the sun and the sound of birds

Society's anxiety
G# Cm
Deprived of all that we're blessed with
D# Fm G#
We just can't get enough, no!

That's caught in the crossfire
G# Cm D# Fm
That's caught in the crossfire
G# A# Cm
Can I trust what I'm given?
D# G#
When faith still needs a gun
A# Cm D# G#
Whose ammunition justifies the wrong?
A# Cm
And I can't see from the backseat
D# G#
So I'm asking from above
A# Cm Fm
Can I trust what I'm given, even when it cuts?
G# A#
Heaven if you sent us down
Cm D#

Cause you're the only refuge now

For every mother, every child, every brother
