Difficulty: Intermediate

Verse 1:
            Em
It's not the wakin', it's the risin'
             D
It is the groundin' of a foot uncompromisin'
             Am
It's not forgoin' of the lie
      C      B
It's not the openin' of eyes
        Am        Em
It's not the wakin', it's the risin'

               Em
It's not the shade we should be cast in
              D
It's the light and it's the obstacle that casts it
               Am
It's the heat that drives the light
     C    B
It's the fire it ignites
       Am        Em
It's not the wakin', it's the risin'

               Em
It's not the song, it is the singin'
            D
It's the heaven of the human spirit ringin'
             Am
It is the bringin' of the line
      C       B
It is the bearin' of the rhyme
        Am        Em
It's not the wakin', it's the risin'

Verse 2:
              Em
It's not the war but what's behind it
          D
Oh, the fear of how men is near assignment
             Am
And everythin' that we're denied
   C      B
by keepin' the divide
        Am       Em
It's not the wakin', it's the risin'

Straight into the face that tells you to rattle your chains
    C     Em
If you love bein' free
