Verse 1:
            F minorFm
It's not the wakin', it's the risin'
             AbAb
It is the groundin' of a foot uncompromisin'
             DbDb
It's not forgoin' of the lie
            BbmBbm
It's not the openin' of eyes
               F minorFm
It's not the wakin', it's the risin'

               F minorFm
It's not the shade we should be cast in
              AbAb
It's the light and it's the obstacle that casts it
               DbDb
It's the heat that drives the light
         BbmBbm
It's the fire it ignites
               F minorFm
It's not the wakin', it's the risin'

               F minorFm
It's not the song, it is the singin'
            AbAb
It's the heaven of the human spirit ringin'
             DbDb
It is the bringin' of the line
             BbmBbm
It is the bearin' of the lie
               F minorFm
It's not the wakin', it's the risin'

Oh, the fear of how men is near assignment
             DbDb
And everythin' that we're denied
        BbmBbm
by keepin' the divide
