Don't give up
       Am/G      F
I know you can see
C             Am/G                    F

C     Am/G
Stand up
          F
For what we need to be
        C            Am/G    F
cause crying won't save or feed a hungry child
           C
Can't lay down and

Wait for some miracle to change things

Mercy, will we overcome this?
C      Am/G           F
One by one, could we turn it around?
      C     Am/G       F
Maybe carry on just a little bit longer?

Me and you and you and you

Just want to be free yeah yeah
C       Am/G
But you see
F                                Fmaj7/D
All the world is just as we have made it
                      Fmaj7
And until we've got a new world

I got to say that
C             Am/G         F
Love is not a whisper or a weakness
    C        Am/G
No, love is strong
       F
Now we got to get it together, yeah
C           Am/G        F
Got to get, got to get, got to get
               Fmaj7/D    Fmaj7
Until there is no reason

To fight


C      Am/G         F
Mercy, will we overcome this?
C      Am/G          F
One by one, could we turn it around?
      C     Am/G      F
Maybe carry on just a little bit longer?
     Fmaj7/D                      C      Am/G   F
