[Verse 1]
Am/BCGDAm
This is my homeland, the place where I was born,
Am/BCGFAm
And through my childhood, was safe and secure,
Am/BCGAm
Like many children, knew nothing of war,
Fmaj7Am
We were playing and laughing and playing,
[Verse 2]
Am/BCGDAm
Here´s another photograph of where we used to live,
Am/BCGFAm
Our house was always a safe place to be,
Am/BCGAm
But now it´s gone, only rubble and dust,
Fmaj7
We were hoping and praying and hoping,
CGAmAm
Oooooh, all has gone
[Verse 3]
Am/BCGDAm
This is my homeland, the place where I was born,
Am/BCGFAm
And like my father and his one before,
Am/BCGAm
We´ve raised our families and worked for them all,
Fmaj7
With our hopes and our dreams
And our hopes and our dreams

And then came the thunder and so many people running,
EF#m
From the cities and the battlefields,
Bm
And as the bombs rained down,
F#mEsus4E
We were hiding from the bullets and the guns;
[Chorus]
F#mEDADEsus4E
Oh can you imagine how it has been for us to be losing everything?
F#mEDADEAAsus4
As the world stood still we would never know what every day would bring;
Asus2AAsus4Asus2AAsus4Asus2Esus4E
Every day, every day
[Verse 5]
A
So we came to your country, you were there with open arms,
EF#m
To give shelter from the storm,
Bm
We are doctors and lawyers,
F#mEsus4E
And all of us people like you;
[Chorus]
F#mEDADEsus4E
Oh can you imagine how it would be for you to be losing everything?
F#mEDADEAAsus4
As the world stood still you would never know what every day would bring,
Asus2AAsus4Asus2AAsus4Asus2A
Every day, every day, every day

There is always hope in the human heart,
