Intro
Am (Listen to song)

Am (x02210@1)Should I close my eyes and prophesize
                             Quick (G)
Hoping maybe some day come 
AmShould (x02210@1)I wet the ground with my own tears
                              Quick (G)
Crying over what's been done

Am (x02210@1)
Should I lift the dirt and plant the seed
                             Quick (G)
Even though I'll never grow
AmShould (x02210@1)I wet the ground with the sweat from my brow

And believe in my good work

DMy (xx0232@1)good work

FMy (133211@1)good work

AmMy (x02210@1)good work

Verse 2

Am (x02210@1)Hey there, I'm flying up above
                                 Quick (G)
Looking down on the tired earth
AmAnd (x02210@1)I can see, I can see potential

AmFrom (x02210@1)all of heaven's possibilities

Hey do you know that the meek,

They shall inherit the earth

DYou (xx0232@1)should work, you should work

Am (Cont'D)
Should I hit the water or stay on dry land
                             Quick (G)
Even though I've never swam  
AmTake (x02210@1)machete into the brush

Though at first there is no path
 
Quick (G)

AmTaste (x02210@1)the war paint on my tongue
                               Quick (G)
As it's dripping with my sweat
AmPlace (x02210@1)my gaze in the future's path

Seeing things that ain't come yet

AmHope (x02210@1)to watch the victory dance
