Verse 1:
Bm (no riff)                 A
  I see the glory of the Lord every time the sun rises
Bm
  I hear the unheard screams of a broken heart
A                G
 Because every day a son dies
Bm (with riff)
27 million slaves but no plantation
A
27 million slaves, all different races
Bm
This is not the picture the Lord painted in Genesis
A                            G
Silence is our enemy, our voices can end it

Chorus 1:
D                    G/D     D
 I have dreamed of a kingdom coming where
Bm               G    D
  Evil drowns in mercy streams (we won't stop 'til we see)
D                   G/D       D
I want to see those rivers of justice
    Bm                G               D
So I use my voice for those who can't speak
      Bm                G               D
I will use my voice for those who can't speak

Verse 2:
Bm (with riff)
  Yeah, yeah, when it's all said and done
A
 Yeah, I pray that everything we said is done
Bm
  I don't want my son to say I was one of the ones
             A              G
That watched 27 million suffer and never say (nothing)
Bm7
  No, no, I won't be that
  A
I don't deserve a mic if I ain't got no feedback
    Bm7
Bring back every girl from the west to the east that
  A                                      N.C.
He crafted for His glory, not for making you green backs

I dream that
      Bm7
Every ounce of brokenness and disease that
    A
Bring that to the cross, believe that He redeems that
 Bm7
Sees that type of world that my daughters can breathe in
      A                                G
Where the beautiful feet that go where the needs at

 Oh, none of here are just a number
D                  G
 We all have a name like any other
Em7                            G
  There's breath inside your lungs, and you are my brother
D                       A                  N.C.
 My God, when will we stand, stand together

 Oh, let me see those rivers of justice
    Bm                G               D
So I use my voice for those who can't speak
      Bm                G               D
I will use my voice for those who can't speak
