_ _ [Eb] Mm, it saddens [Abm] me, but [Db] will these [Abm] _ words [Db] fall on deaf ears?
[Ab] As my tears won't fill up the riverbed of [Bbm] resistance and change, it's fallen dry,
[Abm] and gone and unknown are the names which gave that river its [Db] _
tranquility.
[Ab] Beautiful voice and God's pea, _ [Bbm] rise up out of the complacency and [Db] juice
sweetly [Abm] need _ _ an [Db] awakening. _
_ [Ab] _ _ _ _
Bring, [Eb] _ bring, _ _
_ [Abm] _ [Ebm] bring the noise, daughter.
_ Now is the [Db] time for you and your [Ab] generation to put this universal chaos in [Eb] order.
Me and mine, we've [Abm] held high the picket signs, met behind closed doors, spoke [Db] out against war,
[Ab] spoke up for art and equality, [Eb] told people [Ebm] we a community, a [Abm] family.
The [Bb] years travel quick like [Abm] speed and light, [Db] and the torchlight is [Ab] burning low.
And my tears, you know, [Bbm] they won't fill the [Gb] riverbed of resistance and [Abm] change.
They're just an offering for those who have been named [Db] with love, and [Ab] those who have died
nameless, that they [Db] rest knowing that their lives were [Abm] worth the fight, that this planet
and life are gifts to all, [Db] not just a chosen [Ab] few.
The now and future are up to you, [Ebm] so what [Gb] are you and your brothers [Abm] and sisters gonna do? _
_ _ _ _ [Db] _
But [Ab] mama, the [F] resistance seems [Ebm] so futile,
when all the [Abm] wild [Ebm] government and media massacre my dreams.
[Db] We, my [Ab] brothers and sisters and me, are at [Ebm] the mercy of
dot [Abm]-coms, bombs that kill at least 30 daily,
the [Db] constant downward [Ab] spiral of music [F] and humanity, [Ebm] a general lack of
concern, knowledge, and history.
[Abm]
Our _ potential [Db] leaders and
[Eb] spokespeople are chasing _ materialistic ideals, [Bb] seems our [Db] faiths have been sealed
[Abm] with a bling-bling kiss, so, _ shall I [Db] just have the violins
[Ab] play for me as I [Bb] recite this [Abm] soliloquy, a missed [Eb] opportunity, a eulogy
at the funeral for [Bb] the modern day [Ebm] visionary?
Or [Db] shall I [Eb] rise as you call me?
Will [Bbm] I fall or stand [Abm] firmly?
Mama, [Db] advise me, guide [Eb] me, I want to be
made ready.
[Abm] _ _ _ [Db] Baby girl, [Abm] you sound ready to me.
The spirit [Db] fire of Asada, Angela, Gandhi, King, and Barbie,
in your [Abm] veins bleed, they're your legacy, keep your eyes on the prize
of [Bb] peace, and don't pardon me while [B] I preach, _ because
_ _ even [Bbm] hurricane and tsunami [Ab] have spoken Earth's peace, as they [Ebm] rose
with wind and waves to say, cease this increase of heartlessness and
[Db] regress, so please, _ please, [Bbm] beg no apology
as you speak [E] for truth, _ [Abm] move _ _ into [Bbm] the awakening.
[Ab] _ Bring, _ _
[Db] _ _ [Gb] bring, _ bring [Dbm] the noise
daughter, [Abm] it's past time for you and your generation [Bbm] to put this [Eb] universal chaos
in order, the now [Gb] and future are up to you, so what are you and [B] your brothers and sisters
[Abm] gonna do?
_ _ _ _ [Db] Mama, _ [F] I still question the meanings
of [Gb] freedom and peace, but I will [Db] not retreat, [Abm] I will stead meet
this [Gb] challenge head on and [Bb] heart strong, seeing my [Gb] protest songs
take your head and [Db] example, and go [Abm] well into the storm and struggle
[Db] with torchlight [Ab] ample and bright to fight, _ [Gb] awaken
my spirit, [Db] shaken, [Abm] but never stirred, make my _ [Db] generation's
voice heard, _ [F] rewrite this thing, bring the [Gb] noise
and the awakening, [B] _ sing, [Abm] _ _
