Aileen Vance and Pat Humphries - Voices In The Chorus

      [Verse]
          G                 C            D             G  
There's a lesson I'm still learning as I walk onto the stage.
            G                  C           D
We've been taught to keep our distance to prove that we are brave.
        G             C                  D                  G
Borders drawn, labels called out to keep hands from joining hands.
      Em               C             Am       D     G
Can I reach across the border? Can I tell you who I am?
      Em               C             Am          D     G
Can I reach across the border? Can I tell you... who I am?

[Chorus]
G         C               D       C
Share the contents of our pockets.
G         C               D       C
Share the richness of our lives.
            G
Lighten our load.
          C             D 
Share the food upon our tables.
         C                D
Fill the emptiness before us.
          C             G      C     D 
We're all voices in the chorus.

[Verse]
           G                  C                     D               G  
Though our words may come out differently there's a bond in all the sounds.
   G               C                D
We create a common language when we move ourselves along.
            G               C            D                  G
So when you tell me of your vision, your life and hopes and fears,
         Em               C             Am       D       G
then you reach across the border. I can feel you drawing nearer.
         Em               C            Am          D       G
When you reach across the border I can feel you... drawing near.

[Chorus]
G         C               D       C
Share the contents of our pockets.
G         C               D       C
Share the richness of our lives.
            G
Lighten our load.
          C             D 
Share the food upon our tables.
         C                D
Fill the emptiness before us.
          C             G      C     D 
We're all voices in the chorus.

[Verse]
           G                  C              D                  G 
We've been told we can't find harmony if our styles are not the same,
       G                  C               D
cannot learn to love each other, can't pronounce each other's name.
        G                 C                 D               G
Borders made by those who profit when we're separate and at war
       Em               C                 Am      D        G
Let us reach across the borders, make the sounds, open the door.
       Em               C                Am        D        G
Let us reach across the border, make the sounds... open the door.

[Chorus]
G         C               D       C
Share the contents of our pockets.
G         C               D       C
Share the richness of our lives.
            G
Lighten our load.
          C             D 
Share the food upon our tables.
         C                D
Fill the emptiness before us.
          C             G      C     D 
We're all voices in the chorus.
          C             G      C     D 
We're all voices in the chorus.
          C             G       
We're all voices in the chorus.
