[nc] G+G
I left my home still as a child
G+G
I walked a thousand soary miles
C/GC/G G+G
To wait for my father, to gather up his truth
G+G
He said my boy you've got to run
G+G
Don’t wait for me, don’t wait for mum
C/GC/G G+G
We’ll come get you, when it’s safe for us to move
C/GC/G
So I waited many years,
E minorEm
held back the pain behind my tears
C/GC/G G+G
For my father, to come find me like he said
C/GC/G
And in that time I was alone,
E minorEm
so many years without my home
C/GC/G G+G
I made brothers of a different kind instead
Instrumental break:
G+G C/GC/G G+G
G+G
And in the time I didn't know,
G+G
just how hard the wind could blow
C/GC/G G+G
Towards disaster, and the things that I would see
G+G
I never found my father,
G+G
I never found my mother
C/GC/G G+G
Even would I know in my lifetime I will be
C/GC/G
A augmentedA hero into the masses,
E minorEm
to those born without chances
C/GC/G G+G
There’s a freedom that everyone deserves
C/GC/G
I know there’s greed and there’s corruption
E minorEm
I’ve seen death and mass destruction
C/GC/G G+G
But I’m telling you, and I hope that I'm heard
G+G
And I will not be commanded,
C/GC/G
And I will not be controlled
E minorEm C/GC/G
And I will not let my future go on,
G+G
without the help of my soul
G+G
And I will not be commanded,
C/GC/G
And I will not be controlled
E minorEm C/GC/G
And I will not let my future go on,
G+G
without the help of my soul
G+G
And I will not be commanded,
C/GC/G
And I will not be controlled
E minorEm C/GC/G
And I will not let my future go on,
G+G
without the help of my soul
G+G
I will not be commanded,
C/GC/G
I will not be controlled
E minorEm C/GC/G
And I will not let my future go on,
G+G
without the help of my soul
