intro : Am C G
Am C G
Am C G F
Am C G

Am
blue skies went in the trees
C
and birds carry our song
G
on a crowded street of refugees
F
in the city full of laws

Am C
everyone is searching for a light , a valid cause
G F
cutting throats and taking notes from those who move along

C
we must have faith
G
to dire times wont change
F
if we give in to pain
C G
or drown ourselves in rain

broken hearts , dirty streets
from dreams of shining lights
reality kills confidence here almost every night
burning woods carry the fire
gunshots , they grow close
the terrified and cowardly
gave up long ago

C
we must have faith
G
to dire times wont change
F
if we give in to pain
C G
or drown ourselves in rain
C
we must work hard
G
and fight to make our way
F
and shelter those we love
C G
from what come in someday

Am C G
we live by the sword and we die
Am C G
well breathe by the ocean and cry
Am C G F
well stand up and carry the weight of the world
Am C G
for ourselves and loved ones to thrive

we must have faith
to dire times wont change
if we give in to pain
or drown ourselves in rain
we must work hard
and fight to make our way
and shelter those we love
from what come in someday
