Intro: Em, A, Bm, Em, A, Bm

^Em18th of ^AJuly on the banks of a not well ^Bmknown river I started a journey to where I am now ^Em ^A Troubled soul, ^Bmtroublemaker guided by the drums of my creator ^Em ^A Toward a rhythm and rhyme, a ^Bmmelody line of a song called freedom Which once ^Emheard ^Awill never leave your ^Bmhead

^GWe are ^Dpeople born of ^Esound ^EThe songs are in our ^Geyes Gonna^D wear them like a ^Ecrown

^BmWalk o^Gut i^Dnto the ^Estreet ^BmSing your heart ^Gout This ^Dlove it can't be ^Ebeat ^BmWe're neither down nor ^Gout There's ^Dnothing you ^Ehave that I ^Emneed ^A ^BmWhile I can breathe ^EmBreat^Ahe, while I can ^Bmbreathe ^Em ^A

All those who stood together ^Bmfist in air now know this ^EmThat real di^Avision is not a scar on the ^Bmland

but in the heart of every man

who bega^Emn as a^A kiss Not to resist, a knotted ^Bmfist Now an open hand, ^Emopen f^Aace, an open page Where ^Bmhistory might rewrite its rage

^GAnd the ^Dlife you get to ^Elive is the one you give ^Gaway To ^Dforget who to for^Egive is a good thing.

^BmWalk o^Gut i^Dnto the ^Estreet ^BmSing your heart ^Gout This ^Dlove will not be ^Ebeat ^BmWe're neither down nor ^Gout There's ^Dnothing you ^Ehave that I ^Emneed ^A ^BmWhile I can breathe ^EmBreat^Ahe, while I can ^Bmbreathe
