Intro:
A F#m A
I've got Devery reason tAo be high
I've got a plDace in the heaven beyAond
I've got drDeams to live and I've got lAove to give
And I knBmow it in my heart and sF#moul where we will be gAoing
Well, I lDay me down to the nAorthern sky
I wake Dup with the light of the sAun
And the sDavage beast will sAurely die
In the BBmethlehem far belF#mow where we will be gAoing
OhF#m... I've got the gold, and I've got the sAilver
OhF#m... and I've got a place to call my EownE7
It's a wDay of living forAever
It's a wDay of living the drAeam
It's a wDay of living the whAole life
Come down to the rBmiverD
Come down to the sAea
I remDember footsteps Aon the moon
AfterD Dallas darkened dAays
When the whDole world seemed to stAop and look
And they Bmask themselves everydF#may, where are we goAing?
But the BDowman turned and cAarried on
HAL prepDared for childhood's Aend
And it cDame out of dark and wAintry skies
On a tBmerrible December nF#might in New York CAity
OhF#m... hey John, are you out there lAistening?
OhF#m... way across the univEerseE7
It's a wDay of living forAever
It's a wDay of living the drAeam
It's a wDay of living the whAole life
Come down to the rBmiverD
Come down to the sAea
Oh, ay, Doh, Aoh
Oh, ay, Doh, Aoh
Oh, ay, Doh, Aoh
Come down to the rBmiverD
Come down to the sAea
I've got Devery reason tAo be high
I've got a plDace in the heaven beyAond
I've got drDeams to live and I've got lAove to give
And I knBmow it in my heart and sF#moul where we will be gAoing
Where we will be gAoing

I've got what it takes ... to win the fight,
And build a better world ... and make it right,
But when I am alone ... it's late at night,
I reach out and you're here by my side,
When everything has gone,
You help me carry on,
You lift me up, you make me strong,
You give love to see me through,
