I left my home still as a child
G
I walked a thousand soary miles
C/G G
To wait for my father, to gather up his truth
G
He said my boy you've got to run
G
Don?t wait for me, don?t wait for mum
C/G G
We?ll come get you, when it?s safe for us to move
C/G
So I waited many years,
Em
held back the pain behind my tears
C/G G
For my father, to come find me like he said
C/G
And in that time I was alone,
Em
so many years without my home
C/G G
I made brothers of a different kind instead

G C/G G
G
And in the time I didn't know,
G
just how hard the wind could blow
C/G G
Towards disaster, and the things that I would see
G
I never found my father,
G
I never found my mother
C/G G
Even would I know in my lifetime I will be
C/G
A hero into the masses,
Em
to those born without chances
C/G G
There?s a freedom that everyone deserves
C/G
I know there?s greed and there?s corruption
Em
I?ve seen death and mass destruction
C/G G
But I?m telling you, and I hope that I'm heard
G
And I will not be commanded,
C/G
And I will not be controlled
Em C/G
And I will not let my future go on,
G
without the help of my soul
G
And I will not be commanded,
C/G
And I will not be controlled
Em C/G
And I will not let my future go on,
G
without the help of my soul
G
And I will not be commanded,
C/G
And I will not be controlled
Em C/G
And I will not let my future go on,
G
without the help of my soul
G
I will not be commanded,
C/G
I will not be controlled
Em C/G
And I will not let my future go on,
G
without the help of my soul
