Verse:
C C
She got the call today, One out of the gray
Am G
And when the smoke cleared, It took her breath away
C C
She said she didn't believe, It could happen to me
Am G Fmaj7
I guess we're all one phone call from our knees
G
We're gonna get there soon
C C
If every building falls, And all the stars fade
Am G Fmaj7
We'll still be singing this song, The one they can't take away
G Am
I'm gonna get there soon, She's gonna be there too

Cryin' in her room, Prayin' Lord come through
G
We're gonna get there soon

C
Oh it's your light, Oh it's your way
