Eb5 
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
Eb5 F#5   Ab5
My good work
Ab5 Bb5   B5 
My good work
B5  C#5   Eb5
My good work

Eb5
Hey there, I'm flying up above
Looking down on the tired earth
And I can see, I can see potential
Ab5
Speaking through you, speaking to you
                      Eb5
From all of heaven's possibilities

Eb5
Power, hey do you know how it works
Hey do you know that the meek,
They shall inherit the earth
Ab5
You should work, you should work
    Eb5
(?)  the family(?)

Eb5
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

Ab5 C#5

Eb5
Hope to watch the victory dance
After whole day's work is done
Hope to watch the victory dance
In the evening's setting sun

Ab5 C#5

Eb5
Hope to watch the victory dance
Over many lives to come
Hope to watch the victory dance
In the evening's setting sun

Eb5  F#5  Ab5
Setting sun
Ab5  Bb5  B5
Setting sun
B5   C#5   Eb5
Setting sun

Eb5
Hope to dance the victory dance
                                Ab5 C#5
After whole day's work is done
Eb5
Hope to dance the victory dance
                                Ab5 C#5
In the evening's setting sun

Eb5
Hope to dance the victory dance
                                Ab5 C#5
Over many lives to come
Eb5
Hope to dance the victory dance
                                Ab5 C#5
In the evening's setting sun
