It's A Possibility

Words & Music by John Denver
from One World (1986)


G
For all of the times that you've wondered why
     C  
the world turned out this way 
    D
and all of the times that you've asked yourself 
           C                  G
about the games that people play. 
     
About the politics of hunger 
         C
and the politics of need, 
         D
how the politics of power 
                C            G
seem to be the politics of greed.

    G
For all of the times that you've struggled in an effort 
    C
to work your way back up stream, 
    D
and all of the times you've held on to it, 
      C                        G
when most of us had lost the dream. 
   
And for all of the ones who have walked with you,
         C
by your side or way back home, 
 D                   G 
maybe much more than any of us 
               C         D       G
you know that no-one is really alone.
 
             Em                G
Because the heart is still in hunger, 
             D             G
it's like a beacon in the night. 
            Em              G
Though the heart is just a lover, 
      A7              D
it's never afraid to fight.

        G
We are fighting for more than survival,
        C
we are working for more than peace, 
        D
we are giving ourselves with each other,
        C                       D   
making sure all injustice will someday cease. 
 G
Take a look around you 
             C
and you can see how far we've come, 
         D                      G
all the separate parts all the hundreds of hearts 
          C         D        G
that are beating together as one.

             C     D            G
It's a possibility, for many tomorrows.
             C     D                  C       D    G
It's a possibility, of a world to be made for everyone.
             C     D                       G
It's a possibility, no more suffering and sorrow.
             C     D C       D    G
It's a possibility,  it's in everyone.
