E                    A
They come from everywhere
                  D
A longing to be free
                      A
They come to join us here
      D
From sea to shining sea
E                    A
And they all have a dream
                  D
As people always will
                A
To be safe and warm
     D                       E
In that shining city on the hill

[Pre-Chorus]
D
Some wanna slam the door
    A
Instead of opening the gate
E
Aw, let’s turn this thing around
   D                E
Before it gets too late

[Chorus]
E                    A
It’s up to me and you
                  D
Love can conquer hate
                      A
I know this to be true
E                      A
That’s what makes us great

[Verse 2]
E                A
Don’t tell me a lie
                  D
And sell it as a fact
                          A
I’ve been down that road before
    D
And I ain’t goin’ back
E                     A
And don’t you brag to me
                        D
That you never read a book
                A
I never put my faith
      D                E
In a con man and his crooks

[Pre-Chorus]
D
I won’t follow down that path
     A
And tempt the hands of fate
E
Aw, let’s turn this thing around
   D                E
Before it gets too late

[Chorus]
E                    A
It’s up to me and you
                  D
Love can conquer hate
                      A
I know this to be true
E                      A
That’s what makes us great
E                    A
In the quiet of the night
                 D
I lie here wide awake
             A
And I ask myself
            E                A
Is there a difference I can make?

[Chorus]
E                    A
It’s up to me and you
                  D
Love can conquer hate
                      A
I know this to be true
E                      A
That’s what makes us great
