[Em] [C] So hard to answer future's riddle [F] when a head is seeming so far behind
[C] So hard to laugh a childlike giggle when the [F] tears start to torture my mind
[G] So hard to [Am] shed the life of before [F] to let my soul
automatically soar [C] but I
Hit hard [F] at the battle that's confronting [C] me
Yeah, I'm knocked down
[F] Had a roadblock to stop me
[C] I'm so lost
[Dm] All the shackles [C] that are biting me [F] down
So [Em]
up the wounds of evolution [F] and the now starts to get in my way
[D] [Em] So what if life's a revelation [F] if the mind speaks of only today
So [G]
real the pain of [Am] growing in soul
[F] Of climbing up to reality's goal [C] but I
Hit hard [F] at the battle that's confronting [C] me
Yeah, I'm knocked down
[F] Had a roadblock to stop me
[C] I'm so lost
All [Dm] the shackles [C] that are biting me [F] down
Long promise road
Tale starts at dawn [Em] carries on to the [Am] seasons ending
[G] Long [Am]
[Em] [F]
promise road
[B] Close to the source channel [Em] force [Am] never ending
Never ending
So [B] [G]
hard [C] to lift the jeweled scepter when [F] the weight turns a smile to a frown
[G] So hard to [C] drink a passionate [F] when the taste of life's holding me down
[G] So hard [C] to plant the seed [D] of reform
So [F] hard to set my sights on defeating the storm
[C] So I hit [F] hard at the battle that's confronting [C] me
Yeah, I'm knocked [F] down
Had a roadblock to stop me
[C] I'm so lost
[Dm] All the shackles [C] that are biting [F] me down
Long [Dm] [Am]
