[E]
She
[B]
[E] looked out the window and said the world's on fire.
I just laughed [A] and poured her a glass of [B] wine.
[A] We just stared at the [E] TV, [A] trying to find [E] some meaning.
[A] Hoping that we'd [E] wake up from this [B] dream sometime [E] tomorrow.
Well the night it came [A] and went, not [E] a damn thing had changed.
That's when I saw [A] a tear fall from her [B] eyes.
[A] She said, what are [E] we gonna do?
[A] What's this [E] world coming to?
[A] For the [E] first time in my [B] whole life, I stood [E] there speechless.
The [B] load [A] is heavy and the road is [E] long,
[Abm] and we've [A] only begun to [E] fight.
[A] We just can't [E] give in, [A] we just can't [E] give up.
[A] We must go [E]
boldly into [B] the darkness and [E] be the light.
[A]
[E]
So I packed up [A] my car and went looking for [E] answers
to the [A] questions weighing on [B] my mind.
[A] When did the land of [E] the free [A] become the home of the [E] afraid?
[A] Afraid of [E] the world, afraid of [B] the truth, afraid of [E] each other.
This [A] ain't the country my [E] grandfather fought for,
but I still [A] see the hate he [B] fought against.
[A] Give rest to [E] the tired, [A] give mercy to [E] the poor,
[A] [E] give warmth to the [B] huddled masses, and I'll show you [E] freedom.
[B] The [A] load is heavy and the road is [E] long,
[Abm] and we've [A] only begun to [E] fight.
[A] We just can't [E] give in, [A] we just can't [E] give up.
[A] We must [E] go boldly into [B] the darkness and [E] be the light.
[Abm] [A]
[B]
[E] I got a baby girl coming in the spring, I worry about [A] the world she's coming [B] into,
[A] but she'll have [E] my fight, [A] she'll have her [E] mama's fire,
[A] if anyone [E]
builds a wall [B] in her journey, baby, bust [E] right through.
[B] The [A] load is heavy and the road [E] is long,
[Abm] and we've [A] only begun to [E] fight.
[A] We just can't [E] give in, [A] we just can't [E] give up.
[A] We must [E] go boldly into [B] the darkness.
The [A] load is heavy and the road [E] is long, and [Abm] we've [A] only begun to [E] fight.
[A] We just can't [E] give in, [A] we just can't [E] give up.
[A] We must [E] go boldly into [B] the darkness and be the light.
