More informatiomn has come to light about 3 year old
Syrian boy Alan Kurdi whose body was found recently washed
D#m C# G#
He was carried from the water by a soldier
D#m C# G#
And the picture screams a thousand different words
D#m C# G#
He was running from the terror with his father
D#m C# G#
Who once believed that nothing could be worse
D#m C# G#
So he?d handed a man two thousand precious dollars
D#m C# G#
The way you?d rest a bird in a lion?s open jaw
D#m C# G#
And he told the boys that Canada was waiting
B C#
That there was hope upon her golden shores
B C#
But at night he said a quiet prayer into the wind
B F# C# D#m
Oh Canada, if you can hear me now
F# B F# C#
Won?t you open up your arms towards the sea?
F# B F# C# D#m
Oh Canada, if you can help me out
F# B F# C# B F# C# D#m B F# C#
All I ever wanted was a safe place for my fam-i-ly
D#m C# G#
Well the days were long but the nights were even longer
D#m C# G#
And the baby boys never left their mothers? side
D#m C# G#
But the boat was small and the waves were getting stronger
B C#
And they began to fear they?d not survive
D#m C# G#
So the father said ?We gotta hold each other tighter
D#m C# G#
I?m not losing everything I love tonight
D#m C# G#
And we?ve come so far I know that out there somewhere
B C#
There?s a place where we won't have to fear for our lives?
B F# C#
But as he held onto the side of the boat he looked up at the sky
F# B F# C# D#m
Oh Canada, if you can hear me now
F# B F# C#
Won?t you open up your arms towards the sea
F# B F# C# D#m
Oh my Canada, if you can help me out
F# B F# C# B F# C# D#m B F# C#
The sea is churning I think we?re going doooooooooooooooown
F# B F# C# D#m
Oh Canada, if you can hear me now
B F# C#
Won?t you open up your arms towards me
B F# C# D#m
Oh, anyone please help me out
B F# C# B F# C# D#m B F# C#
All I ever wanted was a safe place for my familyyyyyyyyyyy
D#m C# G#
There?s a million ways to justify your fear
D#m C# G#
There?s a million ways to measure out your words
D#m F# C#
But the body of Alan being laid upon the sand
B
Tell me how do you live with that?
