[Verse 1]
(Eyes)
   Bm               Bm
We see the pain, we know it’s not fair
     F#m                   F#m
We advert our eyes, but_we know it's there
   Bm                Bm
My eyes are blind, I do not see
  F#m              C#7
I filter what will please me


[Chorus]

A          E                  G                  D
Oh, Lord I pray to thee, that we will learn from yesterday
        A           E                   G                     D           Bm Bm
We_were born with 5 gifts from you, but rarely use them as_we ought to do


[Verse 2]
(Touch)
Bm                     Bm
Touch should heal, not hold a gun
 F#m          F#m
Abandom them, one by one.
     Bm        Bm
Pick up a pen, write it down
F#m                        C#7
Share with the world, what can be done


[Chorus]

A          E                  G                  D
Oh, Lord I pray to thee, that we will learn from yesterday
        A           E                   G                     D           Bm Bm
We_were born with 5 gifts from you, but rarely use them as_we ought to do


[Verse 3]
(Sound)
   Bm                  Bm
We hear the cries, the screams, the fears
       F#m                      F#m
Of the poor, the suffering, the ringing in the ears
(soft) Bm               Bm
       Some are silent, some are loud
    F#m                C#7
But all are deafening, as a storm cloud


[Chorus]

A          E                  G                  D
Oh, Lord I pray to thee, that we will learn from yesterday
        A           E                   G                     D           Bm Bm
We_were born with 5 gifts from you, but rarely use them as_we ought to do


[Verse 4]
(Smell)
Bm                      Bm
The smell of gunpowder, smell of damp
F#m                         F#m
Smell of sewerage, from_the Refugee camp
    Bm                 Bm
Yet in the garden, the flowers are blooming
F#m                    C#7
Freshness of new life, ever growing


[Chorus]

A          E                  G                  D
Oh, Lord I pray to thee, that we will learn from yesterday
        A           E                   G                     D           Bm Bm
We_were born with 5 gifts from you, but rarely use them as_we ought to do


[Verse 5]
(Taste)
    Bm                     Bm
The bitter aftertaste, you get in your mouth
    F#m                           F#m
The lump in your throat, you_just can’t get out.
Bm                 Bm
Sour and sweet, we savour the feeling
    F#m                       C#7
But when you’re hungry, taste has no meaning


[Chorus]

A          E                  G                  D
Oh, Lord I pray to thee, that we will learn from yesterday
        A           E                   G                     D           Bm Bm
We_were born with 5 gifts from you, but rarely use them as_we ought to do


[Verse 6]
(Hope)
Bm                             Bm
Listen for a response when you say a prayer,
F#m                   F#m
Taste the unknown, do not despair
Bm                 Bm
Smell the flowers, look_for the good,
F#m                       C#7
Open up your mind, as_you know you should


[Chorus]
A          E                  G                  D
Oh, Lord I pray to thee, that we will learn from yesterday
        A           E                   G                     D
We_were born with 5 gifts from you, but rarely use them as_we ought to do

A          E                  G                  D
Oh, Lord I pray to thee, that we will learn from yesterday
        A           E                   G                     D           A N.C.
We_were born with 5 gifts from you, but rarely use them as_we ought to do
