C     G    F    C
THANK YOU FOR THIS PRECIOUS DAY
         G   C
THESE GIFTS YOU GIVE TO ME
      G    F    C
MY HEART SO FULL OF LOVE FOR YOU
         G   C
SINGS PRAISE FOR ALL I SEE
  G        F    C
OH SING FOR EVERY MOTHER'S LOVE
   G     F   C
FOR EVERY CHILDHOOD TEAR
  G        F   C
OH SING FOR ALL THE STARS ABOVE
   F   G     C
THE PEACE BEYOND ALL FEAR.

 C   G    F C
THIS IS FOR THE REFUGEES
       G   C
THE ONES WITHOUT A HOME
      G   F C
A BOAT OUT ON THE OCEAN
   G   C
CITY STREET ALONE
   G         F    C
ARE THEY NOT SOME DEAR MOTHER'S CHILD
   G    F   C
ARE THEY NOT YOU AND I
  G        F     C
ARE WE THE ONES TO BEAR THIS SHAME
   F     G  C
ARE THEY THIS SACRIFICE.

  C    G     F    C
OR ARE THEY JUST LIKE FALLING LEAVES
       G    C
WHO GIVE THEMSELVES AWAY
        G    F    C
FROM DUST TO DUST FROM SEED TO SHEAR
     G   C
AND TO ANOTHER DAY
  G         F    C
IF I COULD HAVE ONE WISH ON EARTH
  G   F   C
OF ALL I CAN CONCEIVE
     G      F   C
IT WOULD BE TO SEE ANOTHER SPRING
   F     G    C
AND BLESS THE FALLING LEAVES.

C     G     F   C
THANK YOU FOR THIS PRECIOUS DAY
         G   C
THESE GIFTS YOU GIVE TO ME
       G    F    C
MY HEART SO FULL OF LOVE FOR YOU
         G   C
