[Chorus]
EbShould I close my eyes and prophesize
EbHoping maybe some day come
EbShould I wet the ground with my own tears
EbCrying over what's been done
EbShould I lift the dirt and plant the seed
EbEven though I'll never grow
EbShould I wet the ground with the sweat from my brow
EbAnd believe in my good work
EbMy F#good Abwork
AbMy Bbgood Bwork

[Verse 1] 
EbHey there, I'm flying up above
EbLooking down on the tired earth
EbAnd I can see, I can see potential
AbSpeaking through you, speaking to you
From all of heaven's pEbossibilities
[Verse 2]
EbPower, hey do you know how it works
EbHey do you know that the meek,
EbThey shall inherit the earth
AbYou should work, you should work
Yeah, for Ebthe self and the family.
[Chorus]
EbShould I hit the water or stay on dry land
EbEven though I've never swam
EbTake machete into the brush
EbThough at first there is no path
EbTaste the war paint on my tongue
EbAs it's dripping with my sweat
EbPlace my gaze in the future's path
EbSeeing things that ain't come yet
