D                             G
1. One day a babe was born along the highway
                                   D
   A tiny helpless thing upon the sand
    D                                   G
   And an Okie with a dream out on the byway
             A                               D
   Took the babe and held it proudly in his hand.

2. And the woman smiled a gentle smile of knowing
   And whispered something softly in its ear
   Perhaps a little prayer to help the growing
   Perhaps a word of comfort through the fear

Refrain
            G                 A              D
   You can trust the moon to move the mighty oceans
            G         D       Em7   D       Asus4 - A
   You can trust the sun to shine upon the land.
                 G               A            D                G
   You take the little that you know, And you do the best you can
           Em7                    A              D
   And you see the rest with the quiet faith of man.

3. A tractor makes it way along a fence line
   The seeds are dropped precisely in the row
   And if the rain is kind and the wind don’t take the topsoil
   Before too long the crops will start to show.

4. Now the farmer sees the fields around him ripen
   And whispers something low beneath his breath.
   Perhaps a little prayer to help the growing
   Perhaps a word of thanks for all the rest

Refrain

5. There’s a storm tossed ship tonight out on the water,
   There’s a soul that sails alone out on the blue.
   There’s a dreamer with her eyes upon the heavens,
   They’re looking for a way to make it through.
