Verse 1:
            Fm
It's not the wakin', it's the risin'
             Ab
It is the groundin' of a foot uncompromisin'
             Db
It's not forgoin' of the lie
            Bbm
It's not the openin' of eyes
               Fm
It's not the wakin', it's the risin'

               Fm
It's not the shade we should be cast in
              Ab
It's the light and it's the obstacle that casts it
               Db
It's the heat that drives the light
         Bbm
It's the fire it ignites
               Fm
It's not the wakin', it's the risin'

               Fm
It's not the song, it is the singin'
            Ab
It's the heaven of the human spirit ringin'
             Db
It is the bringin' of the line
             Bbm
It is the bearin' of the lie
               Fm
It's not the wakin', it's the risin'

It's not the war but what's behind it
          Ab
Oh, the fear of how men is near assignment
             Db
And everythin' that we're denied
        Bbm
by keepin' the divide
               Fm
It's not the wakin', it's the risin'

If you love bein' free
