[Gb] _ _ _ _ _ _ Maybe the words I say is just another way to pray.
I don't know.

_ _ _ _ [Ebm] Only you know how to be free.
If you want to grin, let it smile.
Feel a little happy, go on, dance a while. _
[Ab] _ Can't nobody play down God's love and child.
_ _ Cause when the spirit hits you, [Abm] you got to kneel. _ _ _ _ _
