I was walking with my brother

I said what I believe in my soul
             G           G/C

I've got nowhere else to go

Someday

Verse:
          G    G/C        G    G/C
And I was talking with my sister
              G
She looked so fine
        C                     D
I said, "Baby, what's on your mind?"
          C                       G  G/C
She said, "I want to run like the lion"
                  G   G/C
Released from the cages
                  Em
Released from the rages
C                   D   C
Burning in my heart tonight
