[Am7]There's a man with a [D]wife and three children
[Am7]Who's been told he can [D]work
[Am7]There's a boy who's been [D]told there's no future
[Am7]He's been fed by the [F]blind

[Am7]For he cannot see [D]hope
[Am7]There's a blind man who is [D]standing at the crossroads
[Am7]For he cannot see [F]light
[G]And as we fire the can[F]dles

[G]For if they should [D]die
[G]There be no [D]light
