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'

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

It's not the wakin', it's the risin'
