G  D  C  G  C  G  D
G  D  C  G  C  G  D  G
[Verse 1]
GWhen it seems that Deveryone is Cworried for themGselves
CBuying plans for Gfallout shelters, Dstocking up the shelves
GLiving in the Dfast lane, and Cstaying high at Gnight
CThinking that by Gaccident we'll Dblow out all the Glights
[Verse 2]
GLook, now, at the Dpotter whose Cwheel is spinning 'Ground
CShaping with her Ghands the past and Dfuture from the ground
GCups that will be Dfilled and drunk, so Cwarm in winterGtime
CPlates and bowls for Gdinner served with Dcandlelight and Gwine
[Chorus]
She beGlieves, she beDlieves
By her Emwork it's so Ceasy to Dsee
That the Emfuture is Cmore than the Gfollowing Cday
It's Gfashioned seDcurely in the Gclay
[Verse 3]
GLook now at the Dfarmer Cworking in his Gfield
CHoping that the Gsun and rain will Dguarantee his yield
GLike a seed, the Dwind has blown to Cunfamiliar Gground
CHe waits to see what Gfate will bring as Deach year rolls aGround
[Chorus]
He beGlieves, he beDlieves
By his Emwork it's so Ceasy to Dsee
That the Emfuture is Cmore than the Gfollowing Cday
It's Gfashioned seDcurely in the Gclay
[Verse 4]
GElsewhere, there are Dlovers Cin a warm emGbrace
CHappy with their Gplans to carry Don the human race
GNow the baby Dcries and wonders Cif it's all aGlone
CSoftly voices Greassure there'll Dalways be a Ghome
[Chorus]
They beGlieve, they beDlieve
By their Emwork it's so Ceasy to Dsee
That the Emfuture is Cmore than the Gfollowing Cday
It's Gfashioned seDcurely in the Gclay
[Verse 5]
So, Gif you had been Dworried that toCmorrow wouldn't Gcome
CLook to see the Gones whose lives are Dfollowing the sun
GAnd the hope that Dsprings so clearly Cfrom the work they Gdo
CWill spread a little Gfurther when it Dfinds a place in Gyou
[Chorus]
We beGlieve, we beDlieve
By our Emwork it's so Ceasy to Dsee
That the Emfuture is Cmore than the Gfollowing Cday
It's Gfashioned seDcurely in the Gclay
That the Emfuture is Cmore than the Gfollowing Cday
It's Gfashioned seDcurely in the Gclay
