Verse 1:
            E minorEm
It's not the wakin', it's the risin'
             D MajorD
It is the groundin' of a foot uncompromisin'
             A minorAm
It's not forgoin' of the lie
      C majorC      BB
It's not the openin' of eyes
        A minorAm        E minorEm
It's not the wakin', it's the risin'

               E minorEm
It's not the shade we should be cast in
              D MajorD
It's the light and it's the obstacle that casts it
               A minorAm
It's the heat that drives the light
     C majorC    BB
It's the fire it ignites
       A minorAm        E minorEm
It's not the wakin', it's the risin'

               E minorEm
It's not the song, it is the singin'
            D MajorD
It's the heaven of the human spirit ringin'
             A minorAm
It is the bringin' of the line
      C majorC       BB
It is the bearin' of the rhyme
        A minorAm        E minorEm
It's not the wakin', it's the risin'

             A minorAm
And everythin' that we're denied
