should i close my eyes and prophesize
hoping maybe some day come
should i wet the ground with my own tears
crying over what’s been done

should i lift the dirt and plant the seed
even though i’ll never grow
should i wet the ground with the sweat from my brow
and believe in my good work
D# F# G#
my good work
G# A# B
my good work
B C# D#
my good work

D#
hey there , i’m flying up above
looking down on the tired earth
and i can see , i can see potential
G#
speaking through you , speaking to you
D#
from all of heaven’s possibilities

D#
power , hey do you know how it works
hey do you know that the meek ,
they shall inherit the earth
G#
you should work , you should work
D#
( ? ) the family ( ? )

D#
should i hit the water or stay on dry land
even though i’ve never swam
take machete into the brush
though at first there is no path

taste the war paint on my tongue
as it’s dripping with my sweat
place my gaze in the future’s path
seeing things that ain’t come yet
