Strum
D-DU-UDU
 Think of a time when  morning will come  and you will wake up
 Without the feeling  that half the world  has gone insane
 You'll open your eyes,  reading your paper,  a drink from your cup
 No one was burning  down time while you  were sleeping
 I've never seen  but I believe
 In a promised land
 Why can't  we pull  this together?
 One and  all, now  and forever
 Why can't  we pull  this together?
 We can say we finally  found a world  that's  safe and sound
 Think of a place  that you could believe  in whatever you want
 Not keep it secret,  have to risk your life  just to be yourself
 A place where you'll walk  safely, no matter  your color or age
 More than the greed of  you and me decides the fate  of the day
 I'd never seen  but I believe
 In a promised land
 (Repeat Chorus)
 I'd rather see  you setting free than  watch the curtains coming down
 Think of a life  you won't take the breath  from somebody else
 One where you're seeking more  than yourself
 (Repeat Chorus 2x)
 I'd rather see  you setting free than  watch the curtains coming down
