A D
There is a hunger, a longing for bread
E A E/G#
And so comes the call for the poor to be fed
F#m7 Bm7
More hungry by far are a billion and more
D A E A
Who wait for the Bread of the Word of the Lord

Chorus:
A D E F#m D A D E
So many books, so little time, so many hunger, so many blind
A E F#m
Starving for words, they must wait in the night
D A E A
To open a Bible and move towards the Light
VAMP

There'll come a time, the prophets would say
When the joy of mankind will be withered away
A want not for water, but a hunger for more
A famine for hearing the Word of the Lord

CHORUS
D A E F#m
...To open a Bible and move towards the Light,
D A E A
Open a Bible and move towards the Light

D A/C#
The Word won't go out, except it return
F#m E
Full, over flowing and so we must learn
A D E F#m D A E D

CHORUS
D A E F#m
To open a Bible and move towards the Light

Open a Bible and move towards the Light

Open a Bible and move towards the Light
