  I left my home still as a child
  I walked a thousand  soary miles
  To wait for my father,  to gather up his truth
  He said my boy  you've got to run
  Don’t wait for me,  don’t wait for mum
  We’ll come get  you, when it’s safe for us to move
  So I waited  many years,
  held back the pain  behind my tears
  For my father,  to come find me like he said
  And in that time  I was alone,
  so many years  without my home
  I made brothers  of a different kind instead
 
  And in the time  I didn't know,
  just how hard  the wind could blow
  Towards disaster,  and the things that I would see
  I never  found my father,
  I never  found my mother
  Even would I know  in my lifetime I will be
  A hero  into the masses,
  to those born  without chances
  There’s a freedom  that everyone deserves
  I know there’s greed  and there’s corruption
  I’ve seen death  and mass destruction
  But I’m telling  you, and I hope that I'm heard
  And I will not  be commanded,
  And I will not  be controlled
  And I will not  let my future go on,
  without the help of my soul
  And I will not  be commanded,
  And I will not  be controlled
  And I will not  let my future go on,
  without the help of my soul
  And I will not  be commanded,
  And I will not  be controlled
  And I will not  let my future go on,
  without the help of my soul
  I will not  be commanded,
  I will not  be controlled
  And I will not  let my future go on,
  without the help of my soul

   [[N.C.]      [G]
   I left my home still as a child
   I walked a [G]thousand soary miles
   To wait for my [C/G]father, to gather up his [G]truth

   He said my [G]boy you've got to run
   Don’t wait for [G]me, don’t wait for mum
   We’ll come [C/G]get you, when it’s safe for us to [G]move

   So I [C/G]waited many years,
   held back the [Em]pain behind my tears
   For my [C/G]father, to come find me like he [G]said

   And in that [C/G]time I was alone,
   so many [Em]years without my home
   I made [C/G]brothers of a different kind in[G]stead

   [G]    [C/G]   [G]

   And in the [G]time I didn't know,
   just how [G]hard the wind could blow
   Towards di[C/G]saster, and the things that I would [G]see

   I [G]never found my father,
   I [G]never found my mother
   Even would I [C/G]know in my lifetime I will [G]be

   A [C/G]hero into the masses,
   to those [Em]born without chances
   There’s a [C/G]freedom that everyone de[G]serves

   I know there’s [C/G]greed and there’s corruption
   I’ve seen [Em]death and mass destruction
   But I’m [C/G]telling you, and I hope that I'm [G]heard

   And I will [G]not be commanded,
   And I will [C/G]not be controlled
   And I will [Em]not let my future go [C/G]on,
   without the help of my [G]soul

   And I will [G]not be commanded,
   And I will [C/G]not be controlled
   And I will [Em]not let my future go [C/G]on,
   without the help of my [G]soul

   And I will [G]not be commanded,
   And I will [C/G]not be controlled
   And I will [Em]not let my future go [C/G]on,
   without the help of my [G]soul

   I will [G]not be commanded,
   I will [C/G]not be controlled
   And I will [Em]not let my future go [C/G]on,
   without the help of my [G]soul
