Chorus:
B minorBm
I just step one foot in front of the other
A augmentedA G+G
One's for my sisters, one's for my brothers
B minorBm
I just keep my head held up high
A augmentedA
For those who've been pushed down for so long
G+G
They can not see the sky, And I wonder why
Verse 1:
B minorBm
When will these times change
A augmentedA G+G
And our perspectives rearrange
B minorBm
And we'll stop acting so tame
A augmentedA
We'll stop playing this game, Search for wisdom not for fame
G+G
And we'll feel this whole world's pain
B minorBm
And see that we're all the same
A augmentedA
And see that we're all the same
G+G
that we're all the same
Verse 2:
B minorBm
It's just these masks and deceptions, the act of forgetting the face of reality
B minorBm
Keep making these payments, hate and separation, to find our identity
A augmentedA
Endlessly warring the only ones scoring are those who sell the pieces
G+G
We hold in our hands to further the plans which only seem to keep us
B minorBm
Locked in the chains refusing to change all for the sake of believing
B minorBm
Systems of pain which only create the needs for enemies
A augmentedA
It's truly a shame we're only to blame for season after season
G+G
Hurt and mistrust and all the corruption thrust in place of reason
B minorBm
We're all victims of the lines in the sand
B minorBm
Drawn by the wickedness held in the hands
A augmentedA
Of those who so endlessly receive their demands
G+G
Their sickness inflame their egos leaving shadows on the land
B minorBm
Still those lines only ever hold significance
B minorBm
If we choose to listen to the stories the present
A augmentedA
Fill our imaginations with their own figments
G+G
Isolation, sufferation, lies of difference
Chorus:
B minorBm
I just step one foot in front of the other
A augmentedA G+G
One's for my sisters, one's for my brothers
B minorBm
I just keep my head held up high
A augmentedA
For those who've been pushed down for so long
G+G
They can not see the sky, And I wonder why
Verse 3:
B minorBm
Some are searching for their path, That lead them to cool waters
B minorBm
That wash away the pain, That hurts like broken glass to fall on
A augmentedA
But the only place you'll find it, Is deep inside your mind
G+G
get ready grab ahold, Embrace the change
G+G
Get ready and take the ride
B minorBm
'cause it's like ego suicide, Or some visine for your third eye
B minorBm
So I'm gonna help you feel so high, Off of my own positive vibes
A augmentedA
My feet are in the soil, But my head is the in sky
G+G
Always staying grounded by not afraid of asking why
B minorBm
Like, Why do we speak only when we're spoken to
B minorBm
Why do we think, only what they want us to
A augmentedA
Why am I speaking one language when everyone else is speaking two
G+G
And why are we cleaning up this mess with a rag that's stained red, white and blue
Chorus:
B minorBm
I just step one foot in front of the other
A augmentedA G+G
One's for my sisters, one's for my brothers
B minorBm
I just keep my head held up high
A augmentedA
For those who've been pushed down for so long
G+G
They can not see the sky, And I wonder why
