20 MINUTES TO GO

Music by Michael
Words by Hart and Michael

Intro: (C)

My fellow countrymen. This is the Presi-dent.
The current International crisis has now escalated
to a state of nuclear war. Our Early Warning Systems
indicate that our enemy has launched large numbers
of Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles on all major industrial
and military targets in this country.
The first incoming missiles should reach their target areas
within 20 minutes. I urge all our citizens to seek out the
best available shelter and...

20 minutes to go...

[Daughter:]
(C)Never saw you look this way before,
What was that he said about the (G)war?
Mommy's crying, tears run down her (Am)cheeks,
She can hardly (G)speak.

[Father:]
(C)Sit down here and take your Papa's hand,
How I'd like to help you under(G)stand,
But there's barely time to let you (Am)know
How much I love you (G)so.

Chorus:
With only (C) 20 minutes to go,
How much love can you (G)show?
Where on earth can you go,
With only 20 minutes to (C)go?

[Daughter:]
(C)Isn't there still time to run away
To a place where we'll all be (G)safe?
Some-place, Mommy, where the bombs can't (Am)go,
Tell me (G)if you know.

[Mother:]
(C)There's no place down here where we can run,
It's too late, the damage has been (G)done.
But beyond this World's a bet-ter (Am)Land,
As we go, (G)I'll hold your hand.

[Repeat chorus]

[Father:]
(C)Little one, our time has almost come
To leave this World for a better (G)Home.
Let's hold on tight, to Jesus we will (Am)pray,
(G)We'll be There right away.

Last chorus:
(C) 20 minutes to go, so much Love we will (G)know.
Oh, the time is so close, only 20 minutes to (C)go!
[Repeat]
