[Intro] Dm7

I been walkin'

With my face turned to the Sun

Weight on my shoulders

A bullet in my gun

Oh, I got eyes in the back on my head

Just in case I have to run

I do what I can when

I can while I can for my people
                                     G7            C9
While the clouds roll back and the stars fill the night

[Refrão] 

        Am7      C9     Dm7
That's when I'm gonna stand up
         C/E    F9
Take my people with me
                 C9
Together we are going
               Bb9
To a brand new home
 Am7   C9      Dm7
Far across the river
               C/E   F9
Can you hear freedom calling?
               C9
Calling me to answer
                      Bb9
Gonna keep on keepin' on
       Am7          Dm7
I can feel it in my bones

 Dm7
Early in the mornin'
            C9            Dm7   
Before the Sun begins to shine
Bb9      Dm7
   We're gonna start movin'

Towards that separating line
Am7             Dm7
   I'm wadin' through muddy waters
F/C                          G/B  Bb9  Am7
   You know I got a made up mind
C9             Dm7
  And I don't mind if I lose any blood on the way to salvation
                           F9           G9    G/B    C9  C/Bb
And I'll fight with the strength that I got until I die

And I know what's around the bend
          A7                     Dm7
Might be hard to face 'cause I'm alone
F/C      Bb7M
   And I just might fail
           F9
But Lord knows I tried

Sure as stars fill up the sky
