Chords with lyrics
Tuning: G C E A (G C E A) Intro: C Am x2 Verse One: C Am C I founded a nation with friends by my side Am C To escape all the tyranny and blatant lies Dm F We built our wall so high, they reach the sky Dm F It's just us five, in this new life Dm F So don't run and hide, 'cause this time we fight
Chorus: C Dm We stand for primarily freedom F We fight for our lives Under fire-lit skies C Dm He's not a dream, he's a nightmare F He covers his eyes And thinks we won't survive C* Dm* So fight for what's right F* And fight for what's true Dm Do whatever your heart C Says to do Verse Two: C Am Over the next years C We had our fights Am C Just little quarrels that lasted the night Dm Our walls are a beacon of light F Shining far and wide Dm F To remind of the peace that's inside Dm F Our declaration written and signed
Chorus: C Dm We stand for primarily freedom F We say our goodbyes to allies in disguise C Dm It's now a dream, not a nightmare F We've claimed our prize but now we must decide C Dm Who fights for what's right F Who fights for what's true Dm Who'll lead this country C It's now up to you Verse Three: F Dm F His voice echoes through this town Dm F That I have called my home until now Dm F I hear my name, but all I see Dm F Is how my people look at me F I turn to flee Dm With new terms F Some must fall Dm C As I watch my people tear down the wall Chorus: C* Dm* We stood for primarily freedom F* We run for our lives Under starlight-filled skies C* Dm This ain't a dream, it's a nightmare F Banished to the night they think they won't survive C Dm But I fight for what's right F And I fight for what's true Am With my friend by my side C* We're planning our move
