[E] We need this song right now
We need this song right now, and I'm singing this tonight with your help for everybody that needs this song right now
And everybody that's trying to make a change and make the world [F] safer.
[C#] Let's sing this for them
And [E]
maybe this song would be even triple badass if Alicia Shakur and Mark Rivers would join me
[A] [E]
[N] [E] There's a time for all good men to get together with one another
[Bm] [F] To iron out our problems, iron out our [Em] quarrels, try to live [Bm] as brothers
[Em] Try to find [B] peace within [E] without stepping on one another
Hate to respect the women of the world, remember we [G] all have brothers
[E] And make this land a better land than the world in which we live
Help each man be a better man with the [G] kindness that you [Am] give
[E]
I know we can [Bm] make it, I [Em] know that we can, we know it all well
We're walking out, yes we can, I know we can, can't, can't, can't, I [F#] can't, we want it, yes [Em] we can, can't
I know we can make it, I know that we can, I know it all well
We can't, I [Bm] know we can't, can't, [Em] can't, can't, can't, break out somebody, I [E] know we can't, can't
To
[B] [Em]
the children, [E] children of the world
They're our strongest hope for the future, the little bitty boys [Em] and girls
And make [F] this land a better [E] land than the world in which we live
Help me, man, be a better man with a kindness such as [C#] this
[E] I know we can [Bm] make it, I [E] know that we can.
