Hi guys, anyone who follows the wonderful guitarist @makisGibs will know that he creates the most wonderful guitar riffs and melodies each day. This song is based on one of those but has been worked on over the past couple of weeks.
Here are the lyrics, with my original chords, but I think Makis did what Makis does best.
The Wounds That Shape The Light
(lyrics and music written by Makis Paradeisopoulos and Harriet Barbir June 2025)
( am) little child, I can see within your (em) eyes
all the feelings that you (f) can’t disguise we
you’ve seen things you shouldnt (em) see
things that maim and kill humanity
(am) This world is cruel, this world is (em) blind
shown you the worst of (f) humankind
made a hell for you on (em) earth
ever since your birth
oh(am) little child can you(em) forgive
a world that thought you (f) shouldn’t live
a world that made you (em) cry
thought that you must die?
(an) but war couldn’t break you
death couldn’t take you
you (em) survived
the wounds that shape the (f) light
in a war thats not your (am) fight
music
am, em, f, em
(am) little child if you grow i hope you’ll (em) know
a world of peace, and (f) love
where bombs don’t rain down from (am) above
(am) cause, little child, I can see within your (em) eyes
all the pain that you can’t (f) disguise c.
the pain that’s in your (am) eyes
