Intro: D,Bm,G,A
D 	  	  	          Bm
When life hits you like a hurricane
 	  	       G
Blind sides you with pain
 	  	 A
High winds and rain
 	  	  	 D
And you see no end in sight
 D 	  	      Bm
Though darkness may fall
  	  	  	 G
And there's no hope at all 
 	  	      A
I know you'll stand tall
Like a beacon in the night


Pause
Chorus
 	  	      G
I pray you always be strong
 	  	 Bm
You always be brave
 	  	     A
Take heart and hold on for dear life
A                G          Bm          A
Wave after wave, after all those tears fall down, down, down
Em
Come hell or high water
D              A             D        (second chorus break  D,Bm,F#m,D,A)                 
Only love will find you higher ground

Verse 2
 	   D 	  	  	   Bm
When the streets are flooded with hate
 	  	    G
Stand firm at your gate
 	  	     A 	  	  	  	 D
Keep your faith and forgive, and be just like a child 
 	  	      Bm 	  	    G
There's no color or race, just a beautiful face
 	  	  	  A
Make the world a better place
A
Change their life with your smile

Chorus:

I pray you always be strong
You always be brave
Take heart and hold on for dear life
Wave after wave, after all those tears fall down, down, down
Come hell or high water
Only love will find you higher ground
