Intro: 3/4 ‖        |        |         |        ‖
                                          (A time for) 
              Em                    F  
1. A time for us, some-day there'll be  
                   C                Dm
   When chains are torn by cour-age born 
                    Am
   Of a love that's free
               Em                 F
   A time when dreams, so long de-nied
       Dm      Em 
   Can flour - ish 
      Am                         Em   Am
   As we un-veil the love we now must hide

          C        G     Dm      Am
Chorus: A time for us at last to see
          Bb         F         Em      Am
        A life worth-while for you and me

                Em                      F
2. And with our love, through tears and thorns
              C
   We will en-dure as we pass 
   Dm                     Am
   Sure-ly through ev'-ry storm
              Em                    F
   A time for us, some-day there'll be
      Dm   Em 
   A  new  world 
     Am                         Em      Am
   A world of shin-ing hope for you and me

          C        G     Dm      Am
Chorus: A time for us at last to see
          Bb         F         Em      Am
        A life worth-while for you and me

                Em                      F
3. And with our love, through tears and thorns
              C
   We will en-dure as we pass 
   Dm                     Am
   Sure-ly through ev'-ry storm
              Em                    F
   A time for us, some-day there'll be
      Dm   Em 
   A  new  world 
     Am                         Em      Am
   A world of shin-ing hope for you and me
       Em     Am
